[comp.sys.next] DPS magic numbers

wiml@milton.acs.washington.edu (William Lewis) (06/16/90)

   I've noticed that there are a lot of magic numbers associated with
the DPS system on the NeXT. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be
documented anywhere -- I've had to glean them from sources and such.
For instance, window 0 is the same size as the screen; context -13 seems
to be traditional to stick background windows to; there are more
but I can't remember them. Anyway, does anyone have a list of these
numbers, or better yet, can refer me to some documentation which
the Librarian somehow keeps failing to find that refers to these
numbers? Any help appreciated...
