- Well, I think you misunderstood me a little bit. I realize that what I
- am doing is not a good idea. However, I have a program that has several
- windows open on one IDCMP one of which may be the ASL file requester. I
- wanted to have one process service all of these windows and I thought that
- the ASL hook function provided a way to do that while the ASL requester was
- alive. Unfortunately, it is clear from the documentation (And now painfully
- clear that the documentation represents not only the fact but also the
- intent of C/A) that I will have to fork off another process just to open
- up the ASL requester.
-
- Darn. I was just hoping that it wasn't so.
