Can't find any helpful docs on doing this. So in the spirit of a bumbling amateur, with my trusty Func'n'Proc browser by my side, I have managed to read a WIMP message that another tool created. However, then the other apps don't seem to be able to read it.
A suspicion dawns that perhaps I should reply, or somehow indicate that everybody else is allowed to read the message now I've finished with it. But how? The DrWimp manual offers no clues. The BASIC V manual offers no clues.
How do I send a WIMP Message, and should I be sending something to confirm/reject the message so that other apps may receive it? If not, why else might my app be preventing others from receiving the message? |

Wimp_SendMessage is the SWI you want.
As for allowing other tasks to read it, if you're not interested in it, you should ignore it anyway 
Not entirely useful, I'm afraid, but it's far too early in the morning to write any more. |

If you don't have a copy of the Programmers Reference Manuals, then the StrongHelp manuals are the next best thing

You'll probably want at least the OS and Wimp manuals. |
