I must not be asking the question properly.
I ONLY have buf, StrToI and FrmCustomAlert because the LL paramater
is not being passed back correctly. So, buf, StrToI and FrmCustomAlert
have nothing to do with the problem.
The problem is "why is the returned LL value zero, when it is 'returned'
by the function?" The problem is NOT why does the FrmCustomAlert not
display the correct value. In fact, it does.
The returned value is zero even with buf, StrAToI and FrmCustomAlert
removed. Again, they are only there for debug.
