I've been struggling with some of the finer points of TurboVision, after recently upgrading from V3.2 to V6.0 of Turbo Pascal. The manuals and tutorials are fine for creating simple menu's, dialog boxes, etc. But I'm finding I need some more hand-holding to better understand the more complex objects, like ListBox, and `grouping' . Is there any other reference available for TVision that goes any furthur? I've thumbed through a big book on TP6 that had a chapter on TVision, but it looked even less substantial...Are there any other demo's with source I could procure? Thanks, Robb Pfister_rob%dneast.dec@decwrl.dec.com

The manuals and tutorials It is really a big jump. Most of us have follow the "evolutionary path" of TP through 4.0, 5.0, 5.5 and finally 6.0. There are lots of good book about 5.5 and OOP. It might be a good idea first to feel really comfortable with the methodology of OOP before digging into TV. By the way, the concept of modularity might also be quite new to 3.2 user. When I first start using 4.0, I found there were lots of traps in writing units especially the scope of the variable.
