Thanks to Richard Bielak for posting the fix to the streams
problem.  Here's a question which I'm sure isn't a bug, but ...

can someone send me source which successfully calls the intution
routine OpenWindow?  My guru is tired of meditating ... everything I
try generates a "software failure" message.

A possibly related question:  how does one deal with the differences
between Modula-style strings, BCPL strings and C strings?  The
newWindow structure in C, for example, has a field for the title of
the window, which is a pointer to a null-terminated sequence of
characters.  The C compiler generates such a pointer (not to mention
the byte sequence) when it encounters a "string" in a structure
constructor.  What's the simplest way to get this done in Modula?

Thanks in advance.
