Albert --->  Don't let ol' Tim lead you astray.  :-)  The _MoveTo is in Global
coordinates.  Likely the problem you are having is in the origin of the area
displayed in the window.  The point may *not* be at 0,0.   One way of telling
is to use a mouse-down event on the point, get the mouse coordinates and
convert globaltolocal, and DrawCstring the results. Another that is more
flexible and which I have used is to examine the window record to get the
content origin (which in the case you described SHOULD be both negative) and
compare.  The tool calls GetContentOrigin and SetContentOrigin should be
able to get your window to where you wnat it for content...
 
 
Josef Wankerl --->  The hard, slow way, is to use the GS/OS drivers.  This is
a little wierd, but if you have GS+, and/or can get the source to Transfusion,
that is the way that it makes the modem access send/receive commands...
 
Jawaid ---> SPEAKING of you Modemmangaer toolset.  Mind tacking the C.Source
onto the file?  It appears to have been rm'd somehow!  :-S  I still don't know
if it's what I need, so I still can't decide whether or not to have the
privledge of paying you!  :-)
