I don't know Adrian's address, so... 1. The entry for XDeleteContext seems to be missing from its proper place. 2. It would be nice if the original grouping of subjects [in the Xlib ref document by Jim Gettys] was available somehow, perhaps through an index of some sort. The alphabetical nature of Adrian's document makes it easy to find a routine quickly (unless you're looking for resource manager routines :-), but it doesn't help the poor fool who wants to do something but isn't exactly sure what routine will do the job. In cases like these, it's nice to be able to look under "graphics routines" or "fonts and text drawing" (for example) and get pointed to something that may do the job. For those interested in making a measly sum of money, in the tradition of the C and vi "cliff note" posters, a foldout of commonly referenced facts might be nice. The member names in the XCGValues, XWindowAttributes and XSetWindowAttributes structures (and their corresponding value masks) come to mind as immediately useful items to put on such a foldout. I'm sure a creative person could come up with a lot more. Jordan Hubbard
