   2 #-----------------------------------------------------------
   3 # Python script which creates a function "gettext(filename)"
   4 # that reads an ASCII file and turns the contents into a
   5 # text label.
   6 # Execute this script using menu option "File/Execute Script",
   7 # if Python has been compiled in.
   8 #
   9 # Also:  defines a function which can be called with a key
  10 # macro (gets the filename via popup prompt) and binds it
  11 # to key "^G" (ctrl-"g"), and defines a button named "Get Text"
  12 # under the "Edit" menu which does the same.
