I am working on a program which depends on the location of the IIci Trap Dispatch Tables. The problem is, they don't seem to be in the place described in IM IV (page 13). I have been able to find the OS Traps, but I need to know where the Toolbox Traps are. Is there any one out there (APPLE?) who can give me that info? Thanks in advance, Brad Koehn "Fly like an Emu!"

The trap dispatch tables are not guaranteed to be in a certain location. They've been forced to move with each new ROM and system as the size and format of the table grows. You could probably reverse-engineer the information for your particular ROM and system, but I can guarantee that the location will change on other machines and in the future. "There is another..." Use NGetTrapAddress to access the dispatch table. It always knows where to find it, even if it's split into several pieces. "Live long and prosper." I hope I've helped you. _emt
