I have been trying to figure something out for the = last month=20 or so by myself with no luck. I have been learning C over the last = few=20 months so I'm a beginner. I have a program that I wrote that I use = for=20 shipping that I would like to put in some "pop-up boxes" = (correct=20 term?). My program uses structures to contain customer info so all = I do is=20 type in the customer number. It then asks things like the the = ticket=20 number, number of packages, package weight,etc. It then uses that = info to=20 print bill of ladings and labels. Not tricky except for the math = on the=20 weight and the zip code address. I have customers that have one = account=20 number and multiple shipping addresses. I would like a = "pop-up=20 box" to ask which address to ship to.

I have downloaded Allegro and gone over the docs and = examples=20 without finding out exactly what I want.. My question is do I have = to use=20 graphics to achieve this or is there some simple function I could = use? How=20 do you retain the screen under the "pop-up box"? That is = why I=20 think I need to use graphics but I'm probably wrong. I'm willing = to start=20 at the beginning of learning graphics if that is what's needed, but I'd = like to=20 do that at a later date. I'd appreciate any help in the right=20 direction.

BTW, DJGPP and RHIDE are great compared to MSVC that = I was=20 trying to learn on.
