I started with the FRAME.bas sample sent with the package. I then made a couple of modifications to the Frame.rez resource file. I cannot get the BASIC program to recognize the changes. What step am I leaving out. What I did: 1. Under ORCA shell, edited the source file Frame.rez 2. Compiled source file Frame.rez with following statement compile Frame.rez keep=$ 3. Ran Frame.bas. It behaves exactly as it did before the changes were made, so the changes have had no effect. Is there some sort of "link" command to get the the program hooked up to its new resource fork? Do I need to put different names on things. The GSoft manual is not very helpful in this matter. I know that eventually there will be tutorial on programming the toolbox in GSoft, but I have seen no estimate of when that will be. In the mean time, I would still like to experiment. -- --------------------------------- Geraldine Wright Geraldine.A.Wright.1@gsfc.nasa.gov --------------------------------- "Big, fat hairy deal!" -Garfield Path: news1.icaen!news.uiowa.edu!NewsNG.Chicago.Qual.Net!207.24.245.130!nyd.news.ans.net!newspump.monmouth.com!newspeer.monmouth.com!uunet!ffx.uu.net!in5.uu.net!news.rt66.com!not-for-mail From: "Mike Westerfield" Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2.programmer Subject: Re: Desktop programs in GSoft Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 21:44:10 -0700 Organization: Byte Works, Inc.

That sounds close. Let me start with the simplest check: Are you using the 1.1 version? You definitely need 1.1 to handle resources. Also, be sure you compile the resource file to the BASIC executable, not to a separate file. The command line you gave will attach the resources to the file Frame. The BASIC program is Frame.bas. Try the line compile Frame.rez keep=Frame.bas to attach the resources to the BASIC program.

Thanks to to everyone who pointed out my embarassingly dumb mistake.
