I'm still teaching myself C and I use MWC. Can some one help me with
changing the Screen Res? I want to use hotkeys to change res, does anyone
have code in MWC that will do this, and that I can have?

The XBIOS call Setscreen() will change the resolution alright, but it will not tell the AES to change the resolution. The AES and VDI need to know that the resolution is being changed, and in current TOS versions, the only time this kind of stuff is initialised is during boot-up. I thought of automating the desktop features via hotkeys too, but I quickly realized that this isn't something that mere mortals were meant to do. This what I know about GEM. If what I said isn't true, please don't hesitate to correct me. >[...] -- John Schmitt johns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca ...!unet!utai!utgpu!maccs!johns

Why will the AES and VDI need to be reinitialized in the other resolution and more than that, why can't you just 'appl_exit()' and then 'appl_init()' again if it's necessary? I've just finished adding a resolution change in a program to do graphics and I wrote information to the screen without problems, so that much seems to work ok. As for the mouse routines, I don't know how they'll react. I haven't gotten that far yet. Is it the windowing subroutines that'll muck up?

Well thankfully nobody is "all over me" for my QUESTION. I did get help,
and cleared up. If someone could explain how I can run microemacs in
low res and then end up in med res till I'm done editing, I'd be happier.
