While fooling with my windows, I stumbled over a small window hiding in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. A couple of pixels wide, 10 high, and apparently no gadgets. I'm running the usual slew of "customize youre environment" background tasks. I'd like to know which one is creating that thing. Not worth chasing through anything to find, but if you know of a utility that does this, could you let me know it's name?

[ ... ] Speaking for myself, Robotroff opens a 3 x 10 gadgetless window on startup. But it only does this to get the address of the Workbench ViewPort structure. Once it does this, it closes it right away. So I doubt it's me. By logical extention, perhaps some other mouse-manipulator or other Workbench modifier is doing this. I see no reason to keep such a window hanging around. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.

Schwab -- The Guy in The Cape ihnp4!ptsfa -\ In my rude hacks, I do something like lock_token = LockIBase(0L); for (screen = IntuitionBase->FirstScreen; screen; screen = screen->NextScreen) { if (screen->(I forget) == WORKBENCHSCREEN (or whatever)) { kprintf("yippee!! I found it: %lx\n", screen); break; } } UnlockIBase(lock_token); if (!screen) kprintf("You in more trouble than you think.\n"); I also find rastports of paint programs this way: I look for the first screen which isn't the workbench and grab on to its rastport. I do some voodoo rendering into that rastport, and then use the paint program to save it off as an IFF file.
