Looping through elements in a selection set

[drutiss]

Hello,

Does anyone have a sample of a routine that
creates a selection set based on an element type,
then loops through those elements to extract text/
data, that is loaded into a dialog box for user selection?

Example:

We have clumps that contain a spl text type.
I would like to loop through all clumps, containing
the spl text type, and extract all other text contained in
the clump. then present this data in a list (multiple choice -maybe) for users to select. Once selected in the
list box, the clump is selected in the drawing.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

This sample has no error handling.
