"Allegro\Exemples\Ex15.c" (where "Allegro" is the directory you installed
Allegro in) shows how to do it. You should be able to figure that out. (I've
understood it => everybody can understand it! :-) If not - email me.)

(Don't forget the file "Allegro\Docs\Allegro.txt" - there you'll find it
all!)

(In case you are curious: "trumgottist" is a combination of the Swedish
words "trumpetare" [trumpeter] and "fagottist" [bassoonist].)
