I just picked up the new Libs and Devs RKM and typed in the first example
(pp. 7-9).  A couple of questions:

1) there is the line
struct IntuitionBase *IntuitionBase = NULL;

I was under the impression that Lattice included an IntuitionBase in lc*.lib,
so that this line should be
extern struct etc. etc.

Also, for the program, the compiler options are given as
-b1 -cfist -L -v -w

Now, -w selects 16 bit ints.  Is there any reason this was used?  Should
it have been -y instead (load A4 with LinkerDB)?

Now for the problem.  Despite (1) the code compiles and links fine.
However, when I run it, instead of "Our Own Screen" in the title bar, I
get a blank ORANGE titlebar (the screen gadgets ARE drawn and are in their
correct colors).  However, the  window DOES have "graniteWindow" in its
titlebar.  Also, the program works fine and returns all its memory.

I have tried compiling with just about every option, with the same
result.  I am using Lattice 5.04 [no patches beyond that, however].
It also happens with the -b0 option.

Has anyone else had this problem?
