Re: Including <Agl/agl.h> ...

Thanks Shawn,

I was almost there.  All of the examples include AGL this way:

#include <Agl/agl.h>

After reading those links.  (Thanks again for your help, I am on the 
steep slope of the learning curve for mac development.)
It says:

#include <Framework_name/Header_filename.h>
#import <Framework_name/Header_filename.h>

The AGL framework is named AGL and not Agl, case matters.  I'll let 
the author of the examples know.

Kindly,

Graham
