First - The answers: In comp.sys.mac.programming, there has been some discussion of QuickBasic for mac - the general attitude is one of comtempt - kind of disappionting. There seem to be agreement also that Microsoft is probably not going to improve it much (not real big news there...), and/or is abondoning it outright. However, Microsoft HAS released a small maintenance upgrade for Sys 7 compatability, and (supposidly) to fix a couple of bugs - but you have to ask for it. They sent me mine for free (because I'm a new user), but one guy said he had to pay ten bucks for it. Now, the questions: 1. How do you recover/redraw a window after a screen saver (or mulitfinder/ system 7 window coverup)? 2. Is there a system call that returns if the monitor is color or B/W? Thanks for the help..
