Is the ampersand missing from myscreen a typo in this message or is this
included directly from your code? I'm not sure that scrtags requires
an ampersand  since it is an array but I'm not familiar with the new 2.0
calls. Try this anyway (assuming this is not the way you are actually doing
it already):
	if ((scr = OpenScreenTagList (&myscreen, scrtags)) == NULL)
