Hello again, Netlanders,

	This time I bring you not a review, but some questions.

1)	Word Perfect is working pretty well, but for one thing:  the
<Insert Date> function also inserts the wrong date, and WP apparently does
not use the GEMDOS clock for its date.  So, easy, right?  I just set the
keyboard clock, right?  Well, I tried that, and it keeps giving me wierd
results.  So, can anyone give me a code fragment to set the keyboard
clock?  Perhaps a short routine to set it, given the time and/or date?

2)	Anyone who has used DRI's Resource Construction Set v2 has seen those
little pop-up menus it uses on the Tools section.  Can anyone tell me how this
is done?  Are those things just normal menus, hand-arranged to work on a
different part of the screen?  What?

3)	Also, can someone tell me how to do GEM calls in assembly?  I
am using MadMAC.

4)	Would some kind soul send me the new Atari linker, ALN?  I had it,
but accidentally trashed it before backing it up.


						Thanks.
