Finally I get the code to you

That sounds like a reasonable way to handle it just remember that I believe
the window handle is a long integer inside the lcl so we need a int or long
int to reference the instance.

As for finishing it or adding to it, I cannot deal with it at the moment. I
have to finish the lfm read and write routines and then I can maybe help you
out some.  End of the week at the earliest.
