I can only repeat what I've already wrote last time:

"Have a look at keys_con "pt_ident". GD2 can be identified by this."



OK, looking at the smsq/e sources (must remember to update mine), this is a longword at offset $128 within the pointer device driver definition block (if set to 
# 'PTR2' then GD2 colour modes are present.

The following questions arise however,
1) I have looked at the QPtr documentation and cannot see how to find the start address of the pointer device definition block - I thought IOP.PINF may help, but does not seem so.  Maybe I am just barking up the wrong tree altogether here.

2) Does this indicate that GD2 is available (and you can therefore use commands such as DISP_COLOUR 3 to invoke it, or does it signify that the current program is using GD2 colour definitions already).

Sorry for being such a pain, but the SMSQ/E documentation is harder to understand than I would have liked!!
