Good day Monks. When I run the follow code, 
use Win32::GUI;
$dataform = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
            -name   => 'dataform',
            -width  => 400,
            -height => 600,
);

$dataform->AddTextfield(
    -name  => 'example',
    -text => 'Here is some text',
);
$dataform->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
sub dataform_Terminate { -1; }

I get a window with nothing in it. If I add a -prompt value to the Textfield object, I get a prompt but no text. If I print $dataform->{example}->{'-text'} it prints out OK. Why won't it show on the window?!? Many thanks..... Steve
