Hi again,
First of all, thanx alot to all of you who responded to my questions
from a couple of days ago. I was able to get the I/O to work, using
FSOpen, FSRead, ect. The FS functions are defeniteley alot easier to
use than the PB functions. The update problam was a misunderstanding
on my part and has been solved. This Mac thing is starting to make me
feel like an idiot though.

Now there is a new problem:
Since I am using a drawing Window as my output medium, I can not use
the standard output functions (printf). I want to display the values of
some variables though. Since I have to use DrawString, this seems to be
a problem. For example, how do I draw a properly formatted floating
point number?? Drawstring does not give you formatting options and
seems to require a string. How do you get around this ?? Any ideas??

Thanx again --> Rob
