#
#     Note that this procedure is *not* exported, but is intended for

# Arguments:
#
#     w     a widget path; typically the actual result of a %W

#
#           -x <x>      will convert the value <x>; typically <x> will
#                       be the result of a %x substitution
#           -y <y>      will convert the value <y>; typically <y> will
#                       be the result of a %y substitution
#           -W (or -w)  will return the name of the combobox widget
#                       which is the parent of $w
#
# Returns:
#
#     a list of the requested values. For example, a single -w will
#     result in a list of one items, the name of the combobox widget.
#     Supplying "-x 10 -y 20 -W" (in any order) will return a list of
