What's a handy way (other than req.library) to determine your proper
place in a list (ie:file requester type list) given the information from 
VertPot portion of your prop gadget info structure?  I've got this:
 
if (GadgetID==PropGad1) {                                               
      list_pos=(Num-LISTSIZE)*(MAXPOT/PropGad1DefSInfo.VertPot);
      DrawDList(Selected, list_pos);                                    
}
 
But this seems to return the wrong value (guru in DrawDList).  Can I get
by without floating point (it's the only place I'd need it in the
program, so I'd like to avoid it).  Does anyone have any nice simple 
code to achieve this?
 
Thanks, 
Dave
 
(Sorry I couldn't think of a way to work this into the NeXT thread.  I
apologize for the actually useful question).
