Thanks for these pointers to an excellently and lucidly written book.
Too bad I can't afford to buy it, but am recommending it for our
library. Sorry, Havoc, but the library doesn't buy from Amazon, so
there goes u'r little kickback!

Anyway, I had a couple of queries about "Arguments"

1) It seems that they are quite similar to "resources" in Xt (the
Intrinsics library). Is my thinking correct?

2) Can arguments be set dynamically, i.e while the app. is running?

Thanks,
