Is it possible for "content_holder" to reference a form attribute such
as a button label or the text that resides in an input field? That is, I
would like to initialize form attributes from a resouce file. This
example seems to suggest that I must do something liket the following:
char content_holder[64];
fl_initialize();
fl_get_resource("inputN.content","InputN.Content",
FL_STRING, default_val, content_holder, size);
fl_set_input(obj,content_holder);
Hence, to initialize many input fields, I would need to declare many
"content_holder"'s.
