Hello net, A friend and I are writing a program that would need to access some private lists that WorkBench maintains. For one, we need to find and scan the list of selected icons, so our program can, like WorkBench, format a selected disk, for example. The selected icons I mean are not the wb_Arg things that a program is passed when it is run, but an on-demand list of icons that is highlighted at any given moment during the duration of the program. I know that this is horrible and illegal and all the rest. But when any new versions of the OS come out we would happily update the program to converse with the new WorkBench, or drop it altogether. Our question, thus, is how we could find some of the private lists of WorkBench, especially the ones mentioned in the Amiga Programmer's Handbook from SYBEX. Some kind of offset from some base is all we need. Thanks for any help. I repeat, I know this is `illegal', but it would benefit our program greatly. -- .............................................................................. Frank Ch. Eigler "Don't ask me!
