/begin long string of curse words.....
Thanks David, that did the trick. Oh, since I bought your book, I was
looking at OpenImage.pro :-)

I think you are going to have to look at textbox.pro just
a little more carefully. :-)

Your pointers are in a structure that you store in the UVALUE
of your TLB. This structure is completely and utterly destroyed
by the time you get to the other side of your XMANAGER call.
And, while the pointers are there, you have no way to get to
them now.
Make your pointers outside this structure, *then* put them
in the structure. That way, you will have access to them
when you need them.
Cheers,
David
