First, my makefile relys on GNU make for some special features including automatic source listing. Secondly, it also relies upon common understanding of how to compile various objects. For example, compiling .c->.o, Make understands that it can use $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(INPUTFILE).o $(INPUTFILE).

You have to hide the graffiti area yourself... If the slider is pulled down you'll get keyDownEvent with eventP->data.keyDown.chr == 1285. (Of course, hiding the graffiti area when the slider is pulled up is handled by the OS). Good luck, Caspar -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED
