  Staz - I hope the fix to WINDOW OUTPUT will also allow access to the
SCROLL BUTTON parameters.  I just found that using SCROLL BUTTON to
change scroll bar params after using WINDOW OUTPUT doesn't work, 'tho it
doesn't cause a crash.
  Well, I've converted my program (compiles to 350K) and tested it. 
Aside from the couple of problems I've described on this list, the other
changes amount to tweaking.  I was even able to check the "Use registers
for speed" box without causing apparent problems.  The new program
really motors.  I draw a graph that plots data, does an on-the-fly
exponential regression on the data, and plots 3 instances of that curve,
all while calculating scale factors and printing some other data
besides.  
  This graph scrolls by redrawing on an offscreen gWorld and copying to
the screen.  The scrolling rate under the FBII compiled application was
148 redraws per minute.  The  app compiled under FBII has a scrolling
rate of 876 redraws per minute.  A six fold improvement.  FB^3 is a real
step forward.
