I tried to respond by e-mail to Dan Green's first posting but it failed, so here goes. I don't have my documentation here at work, so this will be somewhat fuzzy. . . . The special pointer in the Gadget structure points to a StringInfo structure which indicates the character array to contain the string, the string size, etc. You usually will add some boolean gadgets for the user to say "I'm done" or "cancel." If you set the ENDGADGET flag for these gadgets, the requester will close when they are selected. (There are other ways to accomplish this.) Then these gadgets are linked into a list and the address of the start of the list placed in the Requester structure. When the requester is put up via Request() (NOT AutoRequest()), the gadgets will appear. A call to BuildSystemRequest() is not needed. Of course, this is simplified. . . . I do not yet have the RKM, but this is documented in the Lattice C "intuition/intuition.h" include file. (See, I did get something for my money when I bought Lattice, even though I now have Aztec!) Every Addison Westly manual is available separately. At least in Oregon, Intuion and hardware manuals are available, RKM is not yet. Bob Bales
