You could easily just look up the record at the int3 time, and just use the record. Exactly the same way you use the one-at-a-time ones. Instead, you emulate a fake call to a function that *wouldn't* get called, which now does the lookup there. That's the part I don't get. Why are you emulating something else than what you'd be rewriting? Linus
