At that point, you can handle the result just like you would if you were an application calling TaskMaster. By the way, there are lots of nifty new bits defined in the wmTaskMask field for System Software 5.0--so be sure to buy the Toolbox Reference Vol 3 draft from APDA (A0229LL/A, $35; 1-800-282-APDA). -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
