That works perfectly. Thanks.

You're probably right. I've not decided what I'm going to do yet. Some of the
events I'm thinking of might fit quite nicely with the wxWidgets events. Some
others might be a kludge. I've looked at Class::MVC and Class::Observable and
they look fairly close to what I need. Or I might just roll my own. But it's
good to know that you can define custom events.

Thanks
