1) Where is the data for the "Get Info" and "Set Info" menu commands stored? Can it be gotten at and edited directly, with ResEdit for example? 2) COLOR is a reserved word. What's the syntax for its use? 3) PICTURE ON/OFF followed by saving the Picture$ to a file, makes a nice PICT file that can be opened and edited in, for example, MacDraw (you can change the line weight for example). But it's all one object. Is there any way to make a single QBASIC-generated PICT file with separate objects in the same file (so that MacDraw will recognize them as separate objects)? --AES

Can it be gotten at and edited directly, with ResEdit for Yes they can. The Resource type is MBTI. If you create a TMPL resource with the name of "MBTI" and add these fields "String","PSTR" in the fields, it will help you edit those resources. If you want I can mail you the template. >2) COLOR is a reserved word. What's the syntax for its use? I believe that you pas an integer indicating the color. I don't know if that works but I know that Forecolor and BackColor work. >3) PICTURE ON/OFF followed by saving the Picture$ to a file, makes a >nice PICT file that can be opened and edited in, for example, MacDraw >(you can change the line weight for example).

This was covered in a Mactutor article. I sorry but I can rember the issue. The anwser to the question is yes it can be done. >--AES -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora | my Mac Matt_Mora@sri.com SRI International | my unix mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________
