Hi Glen,

There's a bunch more statcalls, but most are vestigal drawing calls and will go
away soon.

There's also a fancy set for making screen effects, which I need to restore to
operation soon (if you saw the early MM/1 demos with sliding screens and blinds
effects, etc, those were the ones).

Actually tho, I'm trying to cut back the number of statcalls to a bare minimum.
Sooner or later, the only ones left should be those which work over a net, or
those which can only be used locally anyway (like get screen address :-)

Re: traps. $00002400 is just where the global variables are on the MM/1.  The
$4AFC at the beginning of those is meaningless as far as I can tell... perhaps
left over from being able to save out the globals as a data module long ago, or
something.

Just keep tracing along and you should run into the kernel module.

best - kevin
