#WorkBench Screen

Looking through the Intuition manual and include files, I notice that I can find my way through a list of screens by using the NextScreen parameter of the Screen structure. However, this only allows for one-directional threading, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to find the beginning of the list. I'm assuming that the WorkBench Screen is the first screen in the list, so what I'd like to know is whether there's any way to get the address of the WorkBench Screen. It would really be helpful if anyone could answer this for me. Thanks /brent

My impression was that the NextScreen list was of the actual precedence on the display ( and gets re-ordered when you change the depth arrangement ).

You may be right about that, Charlie; it really doesn't matter for what I want to do, though. In any case I need to get at the start of the list. I'm going to try opening a window on the WB screen, getting its screen's address, then closing it and working from there. I'll try to fool around, depth arranging the screens and so on. We'll see how it works, I hope… /brent
