Thanks, but it does.  I realize that the code is at the opposite pole from
clear, but that is how it works.  The program looks through the pointer
at 4 (absexecbase), then at offset 0x129 from that pointer: equvalent to
execbase.AttnFlags in C.  The reason for posting it is to admit my ignorance
in programming 68000 specifically for the Amiga and to ask for help in using
the include files.  I got the offset 0x129 from dissassembling a version of
this program written in C to see where it looked.
