This has probably been hashed out quite a few times, so please respond
via e-mail.  If the problem interests you, send me mail and I'll
forward solutions I receive.

Here it goes:

I will be using SOZOBON.  I want to make a desktop accessory that can
call a program.  
1.)  Is it possible to call a program from a desktop
acc?

I have never programmed on an ST before, but have been reading
c.s.a.st.tech & c.s.a.st for over a year.  I have a VERY ROUGH idea.
I think I need to use a resource file for the box that will get all
the options for the called program.  I am not sure how to 
2.)  How do I get C code to utilize a resource file?

I would guess that is all for now.  My goal is to write a desktop acc
to call Sozobon.  That way, I don't have to leave my text editor to
compile.

Of course, I'll GIVE IT AWAY if it works!
