I am currently writing a driver that uses the notification manager.  I am
trying to incorporate a response procedure into my code(for the notification
manager).  The problem I have run into is how do I access my globals in the
response procedure.  My globals are stored in a structure.

When you call NMInstall(x), we have x = QElemPtr.  In technote 184 though,
it shows you pass in (QElemPtr) &myNote where myNote is a NMRec.  I can
understand why this is done since the first three fields of NMRec seem to
be the same as the fields for a QElemPtr.  You can store the location of
the globals in a field of the NMRecord.  
When, the response procedure is called, the parameter passed in is a
QElemPtr.  This QElemPtr of the response procedure should point me somehow
to the original NMRec where I stored my globals, but I am unsure how.

If anyone knows how I should access my NNRec please email me or post news.
