 dear gnome 
unfortunately all my programming has been aimed at steel design and
inventory control, I've try to keep away from the interface of the Mac, and
have been successful by using the super program PG Pro which does all of the
mundane stuff for me and saves the windows in resource files. Now i'm faced
with which headers to use, which globals to add, and how the whole interface
goes together. I need guidance and help. The program quits at RunTime.INCL
but only sometimes at the following location


 LOCAL FN pGbestWindow
'~'
DIM TheWindow,wRefCon as long
dim @wPtr&
TheWindow = WINDOW(_activeWnd)<------This point
LONG IF TheWindow
GET WINDOW TheWindow,wPtr&
#if carbonlib
wRefCon = fn GetWRefCon( wPtr& ) and 32768
#else
wRefCon = wPtr&.wRefCon& AND 32768
#endif
LONG IF wRefCon = 0
LONG IF WINDOW(_ActiveDoc)
TheWindow = WINDOW(_ActiveDoc)
XELSE
TheWindow = WINDOW(_activeWnd)
END IF
END IF
END IF
END FN = TheWindow 

obviously the WINDOW() function does not work in Appearance mode
but that would mean that Runtime.INCL is gone which means that Program
Generator is gone, which means I'm in the deep Stuff up to my eyebrows.
Also the switching book as been misplaced when my wife was "Cleaning Up"
This is maybe to much, for the list but any help will be gratefully
accepted.
Thanks
