               ^^^^^^^^^^^
  SoundStartUp takes a WORD as a parameter, whereas dereferencing a handle
defaults to a LONG pointer.  Change the call to the following and you should
be okay:

  SoundStartUp((word)*STHandle);

  This is Apple and Bytework's fault for neither one providing prototyped
tool headers- with prototyped headers, the compiler would have flagged an
error at this construct.
  There was some talk on GEnie or AOL about prototyped headers having been
created- I'll check that out.
