This might be a big help to a bunch of newbies on some of my message boards. Thanks again. Any idea where I can find a really, really dumbed down reference that could help me learn to wrap WinAPI functions? Sherm

I suspect that there's a "Windows For Dummies" book somewhere. I've tended to recommend Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows 95" book. For the most part, it's not that hard to use Win32 functions from Win32Lib. The hardest part is typically loading and reading data structures, and Win32Lib provides a number of tools that will automate that to an extent. Perhaps the best thing to do is just jump into the code, and browse around. Look at a function (like getSelectedText) and see how they work. Euphoria's trace routine is an invaluable tool. Check out how Win32Lib defines and uses structures. The nice thing about open source is you can take a look for yourself, and play with the code. -- David Cuny
