When you say "can't find it in the Autodocs" I assume you are using the infominder version of the autodocs. This assumption is based on two facts, one that it *is* in the autodocs if you extract them from the arc file, and two if you go to the function that occurs alphabetically before GetScreenData in the infominder 'docs and page down you find GetScreenData at the end of it. The problem is that the conversion from the text form to the infominder form missed a few page breaks and therefore some of the functions are "hidden" by being attached to other functions. Note it couldn't possible by in the RKM until the 1.2+ versions come out from AW in the spring. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
