Shraddhan (and Peter Wade), Yes, I studied dos/dosasl.i and dos/dosasl.h as well as asl.library/#? quite a bit before posting (I hate to reveal my stupidity except as a last resort). But I just looked again, and see the crucial line is there after all: "Allocate this structure and initialize it …" Obviously if I allocate it I will know where it is. What threw me off (and still worries me) is that I can find no hint of any allocation in the sample C program. That program seems to first reference AnchorPath only AFTER the user has replied to the requester, but there does not seem to be any way to let the requester know where the structure is. (And _Libraries_ states "A requester always passes … [a pointer to an AnchorPath structure] to your custom hook function" as if the requester itself allocates the structure and has to tell me where it is…) I'll monkey around and see what new kinds of guru numbers I can generate. Thanks, Bart
