Subject: DECwindows under FORTRAN question



Some assistance please :
(a response from some DEC software gurus would be nice)

I am using FORTRAN running in a VMS environment to call toolkit 
routines to create widgets. Some high level widget creation routines 
allow for associating a callback with a specified widget.  In particular, 
I am trying to associate an expose callback with a WINDOW widget.  I 
cannot decipher exactly what routines I need to call and in what order 
to be able to associate exposure events detected in this WINDOW with 
a subroutine I have written to handle exposures for this WINDOW.

I can see and read that there is some VMS "work around" required to
accomplish the desired result. There are no FORTRAN/VMS examples of
doing this. An example would be of most help.


Tks in advance
