[ql-users] use of new system sprites from C68?

[James Hunkins]

Has anyone used the new system sprites from C68?  This would be using 
it in the window definition which was originally a pointer to a sprite 
file.

I have tried it by defining 2 bytes such as:
	unsigned short test_sprite = 0x0008;		[ byte 0 = 0x00 for a system 
sprite
										  0x08 for the sprite number ]

and then doing a pointer to its address from the proper loose item 
field:
	&test_sprite,

If I point to one of the normal sprites (with byte 0 = 0x01) I get the 
expected sprite.  But when I do the above all I get is a red 'X' 
sprite, no matter what sprite number I use.

Any ideas?  If someone has used the new system sprites, could you 
supply sample code and instructions?

Thanks,
jim
