I looked in IM-2 and read about using VInstall and i understand about setting up a VBLTask record. However, what if the procedure I install needs to be called only when a certain key combo is hit? Does it have to scan the event queue or something? How can it be called only when this key combo is hit? I am assuming I must install it as a VBL Task because I want it running all the time in the background. Also, what attributes must I set on the CODE? I would assume system heap and locked. Is that correct? Thanx, Michael O'Rourke
