References: I have used the examples of multitasking published here with great success. Kudos to Rob Peck and Leo Schwab!! I now find myself in need of full blown multiprocessing. What I now need to do is fire off a sub-window that can run asynchronously with a master window and make calls to all the functions supported by Intuition and the Rom Kernel. Gadgets, IDCMP, Text, Graphics, the WHOLE ENCHILADA. Rob's tutorial refers to a "future" memo that will discuss the type of multiprocessing that I need to do. Did that ever get published? If it did, I missed it. Would someone in-the-know please send me any code fragments, working example programs or any tutorial material relating to the above? On a more philosophical note: The Amiga is a GREAT computer and the low level software is GREAT too, unfortunately there is an entire high level layer of software missing. Some of it is alluded to in the Rom Kernel Manual in the form of vague, buggy code fragments. With enough time and effort a high level software interface to the Amiga can be had. As some of us know, getting from the RKM code fragments to working libraries can be a LOT of hard work. Thank you all for helping to make this computer live up to its potential. Phil
