GS/OS brings up text "Dialog" boxes for some fatal error messages, and the GS/OS Snooper CDA uses them also for the system call traps. I would very much like to be able to use the same dialog routines myself. Are they accessable to applications?

You can use TLTextMountVolume, too. (All 3 of these routines are in the Tool Locator documentation.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
