Hi,
I am a recent Mac convert and am in the process of trying to
write some programs for it. I am reasonably sure that I have seen information
on how find the boundries of the screen for whatever macintosh the program
is running on (read make it mac II compatable). I spent a couple hours
last night pawing through inside macintosh and could not find it. Does
anyone out there know of a routine or global variable that will give me
the following information.
- the total size of the screen (342 x 512 on a regular mac)
- The usable size of the desktop (the above number minus the
size of the menubar)
thanks

The variable screenBits.bounds gives the size of the screen
for an XL, 128/512, 512Ke/Plus and SE; it gives the size
of the main screen (the one with the menu bar) on the
Mac II. If you want the size of all screens on the II,
it gets more complicated.
The height of the menu bar is given by routine
GetMBarHeight, declared in the Script Manager interfaces
in MPW Pascal and C, version 2.0. You can also use
low-memory global MBarHeight (location $0BAA). In
both cases, this is not valid unless this is a Mac
Plus or later, such as indicated by SysEnvirons or
ROM85.
