You're right; the graf_handle() function can be used to get the desktop's
handle.

B.T.W. I was a bit puzzled, because the VDI call has nothing to do with
the program; it was merely a remark about getting the cursor position.
The program source followed in the same posting, but doesn't even use
VDI or AES (only a Line-A exception is used to get the font
parameters). It should be correct as it stands.

         Leo.
