Re: Displaying error messages in DDS Window.

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure - not as much fun as RPG, IMO, but very doable. I've done this with 
PRTFs - same idea. You use the native I/O functions (_Ropen, _Rread, etc.). 
You set your format(s), write to them, and badaboom-badabing-there you are. 
Check your C Programming and Reference manuals. You might also post on the 
C/C++ mailing list here.

You should also look at the Applicaton Display Programming manual, esp. if 
you've not done RPG, for the concepts pertaining to this exercise.

I'd have to think a bit about having the window go away on its own.
