I am writing a progra that gets the pointer to the current
window from IntuitionBase. It then modifies either the pointer to the
window's title, or the data pointed to by said pointer.

The RKM says to LockIBase() before referencing IntuitionBase. So, that
is no problem. Now, will that also protect me while I mess  with the
Title pointer, or should I Forbid() first?

Thanks in advance......

Dave
