I have been doing something like this with a program I wrote called yatbc, (yet another title bar clock) which puts the time and free mem in the title bar of the window that is active when it starts. This is a real hack, as it does no checking. It simply grabs the active window pointer out of the IntuitionBase and calls SetTitle with that pointer every time the title string changes. I wrote it mainly because while developing I always have the one window open and I don't like the screen-breaking that occurs with separate-window clocks. I've never had any problem doing this, even when I accidentally close the window and have to reopen another. The process sticks around, but maybe Intuition is checking that it's args are correct or something because I've never known it to cause a crash. If anyone wants this, EMail me. Hope this helps... -- Darren
