Topic: dialogue box with a list

[dubb]

i was wondering how to get a dialogue box that has a pulldown menu with items. the items to choose from are items that are listed in separate text file. that way when i need to update the items in the text file..i just simply add more items to the text file rather than editing the .dcl file.

Read the file contents; while, read-line.
convert to a list; list or cons

something like;

Code: [Select]


(while
  (setq each_line (read-line fo))
  (setq my_list (cons each_line my_list))
)
(reverse my_list)
