sorry to bother you folks with this but...

I'm writing a DA that involves using the list manager in a variety of ways.
However, I am wanting to do some custom stuff and wish to use my own LClikLoop
with LClick. The problem is IM says "no parameters" and and a DA has no
"real" global data. How does one gain access to the "globals" handle (or even
the ListHandle) in the Control record if one's LClikLoop proc is isolated
as such? Is this possible? Have I overlooked something? I've pondered several
hacks, but they don't appear promising or reliable.
I've noticed that there are several toolbox routines that allow the 
installation of custom procs that shouldn't have parameters. Are these to be
avoided in DAs?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
