I don't have that in my runtime.  That must be with the new release.

I figured out what to do though.

The ToolBox Converter created this:

TOOLBOX FN NavGetDefaultDialogOptions (@NavDialogOptions) = OSErr

Since my variable was already a pointer I just made it this:

TOOLBOX FN NavGetDefaultDialogOptions (LONG) = OSErr

Works fine.

But your suggestion reminded me to do the '#' in another call I was 
having trouble with.  Now maybe I can finish the SaveAs function, the 
problem was with a call to 'FN FSpGetFInfo ( #pFileSpec, fileInfo )' 
which now works.

Does anyone know if there is a rhyme or reason to using '#' for 
ToolBox calls?  There has to be a rule for when to use it or not.

Thanks,
