Useful System Calls
You do not know what system calls are ? Well, maybe you've seen that part in
you manual where in introduces to commands with a "_" at the end. That is
exactly the way Blitz indicates subroutines in the system libraries being
the part of your workbench package. There are many various libraries in the
SYS:LIBS/ drawer, but only some of them are of particular interest for us
within blitz: the graphics.library and the intuition.library.
To find out about another routines in the other libraries, please obtain a
copy of the AutoDocs (documentation about system functions).
Now let us pick out some calls from the intuition.library:
- ChangeWindowBox_() [V36]

- CloseWorkbench_()
- DisplayAlert_()
- DisplayBeep_()
- LockIBase_()
