Given possible relevance to others, I'm reposting here. Dave --------------- Date: Wed, 16 Aug 1989 8:34:16 PDT Adam, Concerning the newContent::::: call, the compiler error is correct. Since you are not supplying values to the various arguments to the call (even if NULL), it assumes that the tokens "style", "type" and "mask" are actual values, instead of argument names. Also, is "myRect" a pointer to an NXRect, or an NXRect itself? Final note: the argument name is "buttonMask", not "mask." The call probably should be: [Window newContent:&myRect style:(some_integer_style) backing:(some_integer_buffering_type) buttonMask:(some_integer_buttonMask) defer:(some_BOOL_flag)] (no parentheses are needed.) All of this is documented in the 0.9 reference manual for the Window class. Cheers, Dave
