I am writing a ROM patch and everything works just fine until I want
my patch to do more than just add two numbers together i.e. display
alerts and windows, write to a resource file. And so my question is: What
do I need to do in order to be able to display alerts and windows,
write a resource, while in the ROM patch? (it seems to me that the
problem is due to the fact that the patch is a detached code
block that has no GrafPort and its resource file was already closed
after completing its INIT (which installed the patch.)


Thanks,
