Re: text define object issue

Thanks for clarifying this. I'm wondering if there is a work around  to
know when the object has been updated. In my patch I have

bang
 |
[openpanel]
|
[read $1(
|
[text define -k text-1]



I would like to take an action when someone opens a new text file. Any
thoughts how I can know when this happens. I was hoping the second outlet
on the [text define] would accomplish that.
