Dear all,

It's hard to describe the abyss of my incomprehension when it comes to wimp
programming (to call but one example).

This time it is the attempt to create a font menu and choose a font from
there. I've managed to get a font menu on screen (with submenus for
weights), but as soon as I click on a font, the program quits with an Abort
on data etc.

The culprit appears to be the following call:
SYS "Font_DecodeMenu",0,fontmenu%,block%,buf%,&100

(fontmenu% holds the font menu, while buf% is dimensioned elsewhere.)

Strangely, I used exactly the same call in another program without
problems. Even more strangely, when I change block% to block%!36 (a
desperate man is willing to plunge into the unobvious), the program happily
runs further, but will always choose the first font in the menu, no matter
on which font I clicked.

Who will point at at the above stupidities?

Kind regards,
Paul Sprangers
