Tim…Do you mean IntuiMessagePtr (Ptr instead of Prt)? In which case, you would use if you opened an IDCMP for a window, and used that windows userport, then it would return a IntuiMessagePtr with a call to GetMsg. Could you put the code you are using in a message, and perhaps one of us could help. As to which is better, in most ways, BenchMark is. It follows more what C libraries are, and so matches documentation better. It has a much better editor, better SimpleLibraries, the C librariy filesect. The linker is super fast, and in general is a better system to work with. The only thing I like better about TDI's is that there compiler optimize's the code for size, and so small programs are smaller when compiled under TDI; And the fact that a BOOLEAN in an IF statement that is a constant, and is false, will NOT generate ANY code, while BenchMark will generate code (See pg 22 of TSI's manual.) I have both the commercial version of TDI's and The pre-release version of Benchmark, and almost exclusivelu use benchamrk. Also, I think that Leon (the writer of Benchmark) is working on the two things I mentioned above, and hopefully a later release will include these. Hope this helps some, Jim Vogel
