Hello,

I'm a very satisfied user of OSLib! Thanks for all the work, I
think it's a very valuable product!

Unfortunately, I think I found a small problem with it. Well, I
think so, I'm not really experienced enough to be certain, but it
is probably a small thing for you guys...

The problem is this: I am trying to use Wimp_PlotIcon from outside
a redraw/update loop. It seems not to work. However, I noticed in
StrongHelp that Wimp_PlotIcon has an R3/R4 that are used as an
x-offset/y-offset "if outside redraw/update loop", excactly what I
am doing. However, the PRM doesn't mention R3/R4, at least I can't
find it. Could it be possible that OSLib doesn't set these to zero
and therefore give unexpected results? Or is the StrongHelp manual
wrong (Wimp SWIs manual 1.07)? Haven't before noticed information
that is wrong, so I really came to trust it... :-)

Hm, pity that there is a very recent update... That might mean it
will be some time before this update (should that be necessary)?
:-(

Cheers,
Jan-Jaap
