I would appreciate it immensely if someone could post some code that
actually uses the 7300's windowing, expecially by using the form(3) and
menu(3) library routines. The example programs in the manual don't
work. They always seem to zap the current (eg., the shell) window rather
than creating a new one.
It also seems that the tam wgetsel() always returns junk. Am I on drugs
or is something funny going on here?

Try creating a dimensionless window before using form() or menu(), but after winit(). Then wexit() will return to the dimensionless window setting on its way out, and leave you with a full screen, not the little box in the middle. Sorry I don't have any code here, (my home system isn't the 7300). I'll try to remember some code tomorrow, and post some short examples. -- --- UUCP: ..!ihnp4!chinet!uklpl!rlk || MCIMail: rklappal || Compuserve: 74106,1021 ---
