Summary: How to set things up properly

Greetings!

  Sorry for such an elementary question, but I am getting a bit confused.
I know that graphics and sound data must go into Chip ram, but other data
(and code) can go into Fast Ram.

My question:  I am working on a n-body simulation program.  I want the
code to be in Fast RAM to do the number-crunching as fast as possible.
I also want to plot to the screen.  

Now, if I use pre-intitialized structures (i.e. RKM), what compiler/linker
flags do I have to use to get the data right?  What about if I do something
like:

struct Window *MakeWindow(x,y,...,...)
   long x,y,..,...;
   {
    struct NewWindow Nw;
    Nw.TopEdge = x;
      .
      .
      .
    return((struct Window *)OpenWindow(&Nw));
   }

(pardon any mistakes in this - I am teaching myself C and trying to
learn Amiga-specifics at the same time - but I think you see the general idea.)

Then how do I have to set the flags?
I have read and reread the Lattice 4.0 manual and various Amiga books I have,
but I am still confused.

I have an Amiga 1000 with a 2Meg StarBoard2.

Any help would be greatly arrpeciated.
Please EMAIL unless you thing it would be of general interest.
(But you all already knew that :-)

Thanks,

  Rich
