I just spent a bunch of time stumbling over a stupid error in the MPW 2.0.2 interface files. The entry in PackIntf.p lists LScroll's arguments as (dRows, dCols: integer; list: ListHandle). The Programmer's Online Companion (version 2.0) lists it the same way. According to Inside Mac IV and my testing, both are wrong: dCols should come before dRows. It's a silly mistake, but it had me wondering when a call to scroll a one-dimensional list (in the wrong dimension) produced no effect. The MPW C include file is correct. I assume that Steve Capps (author of the Programmer's Online Companion) used the Pascal interface as a source, and hence his error. Other on-line reference DAs may have the same problem.
