[comp.sys.handhelds] graphics stuff

I've been trying to get mail through to the author of Tetris, the part-ml
  version, but my mailer pukes on his address.  So, Erik, if you're
  reading, please answer this if you have the time.  If you're not Erik,
  but know the answer to the question, feel free to answer.  Thanks.

========================= start included stuff here =======================

I'm trying to figure out a few things about graphics, and am having problems
  with one area - how to select a grob as the one being displayed.  I'm
  talking about machine language here, of course.  In your Tetris program,
  you managed to make the GRAPH grob the current one from inside the program.  
  How did you go about this?  I've experimented with the pointers at #7055x
  or so, but changing them always causes a system halt - even just switching 
  current-grob pointer to indicate the graph-grob.  Any light you can shed
  would be appreciated greatly.

Also, I'd like to help out with your password program, if you still need 
  people to betatest.

Since I'm leaving here Dec 23, an answer before then would be nice (if
  you have the time).

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Harvey Mudd!, Hey, that's a cool college, I remember getting something
from them a while back.  However, wasn't Harvey Mudd that fat guy on Star
Trek who captured the Enterprise with an android?
