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..
