Brian, I took a couple of days off to work on my bicycle, and came back to find a terrific C lesson from you. I'm hoping that by the time I digest what you explain about the use of "*" that I might get a handle on my remaining problem, which is having an ASL file requester open on the Workbench screen instead of my custom one. I've been wondering if there is something about request = AllocAslRequest( type, ptags ) struct TagItem *ptags (RKM: Includes & Autodocs, p16) that I don't understand that is causing the problem. Now I'll reconsider that in light of your explanation. What I've done so far is replace "ptags" with the address of my TagItem (namely ASL_Window,myWindow), but that doesn't work, so I'm obviously misunderstanding something. Maybe I'll buy K&R. I started looking at C textbooks at Walden Books yesterday. My use of **argv, by the way, was a direct quote from "Using Amiga Startups" in 2.0 Native Developer Update. Thanks again. Bart – via Whap!
