Kevin,

   I have a question about Kwindows get/put buffers, that I hope you could
help me with.
   It concerns allocating memory for the get/put buffers.

   How do I allocate memory for an entire GROUP.

   I know of the  1B 29 GRP BUF HCT LCT , function, but I have about 50
separate object buffers under 1 group(P_ID) number. These buffers vary in size
from 3 x 3 to 15 x 10.  Do I need to define each one, or is there a way to
allocate memory for the entire GROUP ? Does the function work like KILBUF, where using 0 for the buffer number applies to all buffers in
the GROUP ?
   I thought of splitting some of the buffers off into another GROUP, like
(P_ID + 1) but wouldn't you then run the risk of hitting the GROUP number of
another process

   I hope you can set me straight,

   Larry
