The following code is just the "driver" portion of the demo. See below for download link.

Update: I would have posted this to the LB Conforums' Public Domain board if it weren't so large.

The final release removes the IsLBHandle function because it will not work in LB's debugger. It will always halt when the handle is invalid. I couldn't think of any way around it. I thought I had something special, but it seems LB has a bug with consistency between normal run-time errors and debug-time errors.

Hello Brent,

There is a small bug in your listing.

A remark is missing somewhere.

Gordon

Thanks for catching that, Gordon! I had found that and fixed it before trying to post it to Conforums. But when I couldn't post it, I tried trimming it down without luck, so I just restored it (Alt+F, 1, N) and lost the fix.

The original post has this fixed in the code block and download.
