Ritchie, thanks again for your help. I had already done as you suggested and declared a dummy Requester variable and passed it. It does seem to work OK, as it is a string gadget that I wanted refreshed to show a new message, and it does. Seems like 'cheating' to me, but what the heck! Boy, I wish someone would come out with a book on programming the ==>AMIGA<== in Modula-2. When you don't know 'C' you spend a LOT of time trying to translate the examples in the Intuition manual into Modula-2. Also, I am using a book called 'Modula-2, a Seafarer's Guide and Shipyard Manual' as a reference, and find it very readable, but some things it says don't work with TDI. For example, it says if you have two arrays that have the same sizes, types, and index ranges, you can use the assignment operator to copy one to the other… not so with TDI! (Sure would make moving strings around a lot easier… you listening Les Caudle?… is this a feature left out, or a deviation frowned upon?) Thanks, Lon
