Hi Matt

If you are opening on an already opened screen, i.e. Workbench, using
WBToScreen 0 or something, do this:
*scr.Screen = Peek.l(Addr Screen(0))
LoadFont 0,Peek$(*scr\Font\ta_Name),*scr\Font\ta_YSize
Use IntuiFont 0
; define gadtools gadgets here
If you want to know the screen default font for opening your own
screen, then you can either temporarily grab the WB screen to find
out or there is commands in one of the BSS libraries to do this.

I think you need to do something like GTArrows x first, where x is
the size of the arrow gadgets.

WBToScreen 0
*scr.Screen = Peek.l(Addr Screen(0))
topbor.w = *scr\WBorTop + *scr\Font\ta_YSize + 1

Stick in a GTTags #GTLV_ShowSelected,0 before you define your
GTListView.

The actual tags and flags are described in the Autodocs. Get the
developer CD.
