I'm a final year student at Edinburgh University and as part of my final year project I am using NeWS to build up a document composition system. Alas, I'm new to NeWS and the NeWS manual does seem to be rather sketchy, especially when it comes to using the CPS interface. Having had a look at the stuff that is floating around in this newsgroup I think that someone out there will be able to help me. Point 1 : How can I control the litewin.ps and litemenu.ps packages through the CPS interface - especially, how do I get notification to the C program that something is happening ? Point 2 : This may be trivial, but when I create an overlay for the purposes of rubber-banding, using the getclick family of operators, I can never get the overlay to disappear again. What is happening and how should it be done ? If these points have already been raised in the past then I will be happy to receive direct e-mail from anybody who can answer any part of the above queries. As they say: When the going gets tough, I get the hell out of it ! Bruce Gilmour (CS4 student at Edinburgh University)
