Matt, That was my thought, that would make it somewhat easier to replace zhbgetinput() with some new and improved function similar to the way GetInput() was superseded by zhbgetinput(). However, as evident by the fact that the GetInput() is still around and that GetInput() doesn't work the same as zhbgetinput(), it's obvious that the idea of a simple change to PROLOG3 and a recompile may not pan out.
It would seem to mean that we'd be missing the whole point of prototyping the call in the first place. Future versions of zhbgetinput shouldn't require any new parms, nor should the current parms be changed. New optional parms would be ok, otherwise we'd want a whole different procedure, right? If the new version of zhbgetinput is compatible enough with the old such that you could modify PROLOG3 and recompile, why require the recompile in the first place. Just make the improvment to zhbgetinput. Again, I may be missing something, but having a single CALLP opcode in a copy member just doesn't seemt o make sense.
