I was trying to explain how I've modified the WinMain Procedure..

but here is the exact error..
This is Main module code, not wrapped in anything..

atom Color_Value  Color_Value= allocate(4)
poke4(Color_Value,#FFFFFFFF)

this is the error message in EX.ERR...

poke4 is limited to 32 bit numbers

The code works fine in the exotica demo, and it is unchanged in my demo.

Shall I send you my code Derek?

EX.ERR attached
