We got into some problems using the Andrew toolkit. What we want to do
is building an application that runs in several windows, created from 
within ATK procedures.

So, please give me some hints how to (best):

	- create and delete windows (WITH control over their size, their
	  appearance, etc.)

	- restrict an object from resizing (in celview ??)

	- get the position of the end of text in an text object
	  (in screen coordinates)

	- set the insert position in a text object

	- restrict the menu cards to display only desired entries

	- get the ATK, patchlevel 6, to run on a VAXstation with
	  Ultrix-32

	- get a description of the available methods and objects
	  (please don't tell me to RTFM, we ordered N.Borenstein's book,
	   but we have to wait, and - of course - are in a hurry  :-()


Many thanks in advance,

Juergen.
