cheers,
yeah shared FH i know.
but i encounter another problem, the TK- Scrolled object wich is used to display eat up all memory ;).
is there a way to limit the box to 1000 lines and then it shoud overwrite ?, so it will not write the memory full :D.

Here is the basic idea, for a sliding buffer of 'x' lines:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use Tk::Text;

my $mw=tkinit;

my $text = $mw->Scrolled('Text')->pack;

$text->bind('<Return>',[sub { &check_limit   }]);

$mw->Button(-text=>'Press Me', -command=>sub {
     $text->insert('end',$i++."\n");
     $text->see('end');
     &check_limit;
  })->pack;

$mw->Button(-text=>'Exit', 
     -command=>sub {exit})->pack;

for (1..198){
$text->insert('end',$_."\n");
     $text->see('end');
}

MainLoop;

sub check_limit{
  $text->delete('1.0', "end -200 lines");
}

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum

nice, but where to find suchs tuff like delete and co ?
i checked the Tk docs and they are really basic.
is there somewhere a good site for more detailed Tk docs and maybe some examples ?
