Can anybody clarify the data-types (mechanism) that I need to use
to get the XT$CREATE_APPLICATION_SHELL working from Pascal, it's
driving me up the wall trying to get the argument data types
right (I'm just getting the old ACCVIO at the moment).
Any Pascal examples welcome, I've already got HELLOWORLD.
Any info appreciated

I also use the PASCAL bindings and I just looked at my code and noticed
that this is one of the routines that I gave up on and went with the C
binding instead. I called XtAppCreateShell and used lots of %IMMED
mechanism specifiers since that's how C takes data that's 4 bytes or
smaller (vague statement).
[HIDDEN] FUNCTION XtAppCreateShell(shell_name : char_ptr;
class_name : char_ptr;
class : UNSIGNED;
display : UNSIGNED;
argv : UNSIGNED;
argc : INTEGER) : DWT$WIDGET;
EXTERN;
root := XtAppCreateShell(%IMMED shell_name,
%IMMED shell_class_name,
%IMMED applicationShellWidgetClass,
%IMMED display,
%IMMED 0,
%IMMED 0);
Where shell_name and shell_class_name are both pointers to zero
terminated character strings.

Note 321 in DW_EXAMPLES contains a complete PASCAL example using the
VMS bindings.
