     As a matter of fact, I HAVE a group of single call functions for

      - creating windows  (done) ( MakeWindow(<window mode DEFINE>, "title"); )

      - creating screens  (done) ( MakeScreen(<screen mode DEFINE>,"title"); )

      - loading IFF images  (done) ( LoadIFF(<filename>,windowptr,scrnptr); )

      - saving IFF images  (still developing  40 % done) 

      - running menus (still developing  20 % done)

    My only problem is figuring out how to use Object librarians well enough
    to make a library.
