Ok.. first off , to all who responded RE C/C++ for me I appreciate it , I am
going to use C for the time being and will convert when the C++ 2.01 comes
out.

Now , my application will be built in stages , there will be a main program
that handles most of the GUI stuff, and synchronization for the component
peices.

But I would like most of it to be in the form of expandable modules so I
need to write a program that will...

     1) Find the screen of the master program.

     2) Open a window on that screen.

I will use message ports to have the client tell the master that there is a
window there to avoid confusion, but inso far as FINDING the screen goes...

Should I have the client wak the Screen structure list starting at the
workbench screen ? (I assume this will break in 2.0) or should it get the
pointer as a message from the host ????
