I don't know what you mean by "system language". You can use the tool box from assembler, C, or Pascal. APW C uses a "pascal" qualifier on some of its toolbox interfaces, so in some sense I suppose you could say that those toolbox calls were "designed" for Pascal access, but it really shouldn't matter so long as they work. In general, a higher-level language is easier to use than assembler. After all, any reasonable application will do far more than merely make toolbox calls. >4. Why use the APW environment at all... The important considerations are (1) some functions are provided by the APW shell, not the toolbox; (2) the APW environment defines the object module formats that ProDOS and the IIGS loader support. So long as your alternative development environment is adequate, there is no need to use APW.
