The 3.02 compiler may be a pig, but I can do menus, gadgets, bobs, sprites, etc. It seems unlikely that the compiler would be responsible for this one problem, yet allow me to do all of these other things. I suspect that there is a crucial step undocumented in the Intuition book, like the one in the RMK I found: it tells you how to initialize your GelsInfo, and how to initialize your bob, move it around, etc. It never mentions that you should link the GelsInfo to your RastPort. I just figured that one out on my own... -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hobie Orris SoftQuad Inc., Toronto, Ont. {ihnp4 | decvax | ? }!utzoo!sq!hobie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lines: 27
