- I'm not a Mac expert, so bear with me.. In a FoxBase application, I want to
- be able to select an output device, with the same effect as using the chooser
- from the desktop.
-
- It seems likely that I should be able to write an XCMD to do what
- the chooser does. Are there syscalls I can use for this purpose?
- In what part of Inside Mac are they hidden?
-
- Alternatively, is there another (better) way to poduce the same effect?
- I have written XCMDs but I don't want to get into device drivers or DAs
- very badly.

- Email please. I don't subscribe to mac.programmer.
