OK, Dar, show me and I will grovel in mortification...especially if
it involves Boxes.rev:
The first argument to the Mac Interapplication Communication Toolbox
function, PPCOpen, is a pointer to a PPCOpen parameter block which
includes (at specified byte offsets)...
The address of a completion routine
A pointer to a PPCPortRec structure
A pointer to a LocationNameRec structure
resFlag, a SignedByte
networkVisible, a boolean [in Mac OS System format]
Other PPC functions need to see pointers to pointers, Str32s, and
values in binary & real formats, integer & longInt arrays.
Show me how to define a PPCOpen parameter block in Transcript, and I
will be even more impressed with your skills & wisdom than I am
already.
...and notice, I didn't even ask you to address the issue of passing
a pointer as an argument. :{`)
