    Hello,
            If I understand correctly, Abiword represents a document by
    a doubly-linked list of objects (strings, images, etc.) where the format
    parameters (e.g. boldness, font size, etc.) are constant over a single
    object in the list.

    I am trying to
            1. Find the list of objects that corresponds to the
               document in the currently selected frame.
            2. Step through it, from the first object to the last.
    Unfortunately I'm not getting very far. Could someone post a code
    snippet if this is just a few lines (I'm sure it must be simple to those
    who know how!) or if it's not so simple some hints would be great.

    Thanks in advance.
    Best wishes,
                    Bill.
