Here's how I've been doing it, and it always worked for me. Hope it'll help.

if ((id = appl_find("BUBBLE  ")) != -1)
{
     msg[0] = BUBBLEGEM_SHOW;
     msg[1] = _AESapid;
     msg[2] = 0;
     msg[3] = xpos;
     msg[4] = ypos;
     msg[5] = (short)(((int)bubbles->p[idx] >> 16) & 0x0000ffffL);
     msg[6] = (short)(( int)bubbles->p[idx] & 0x0000ffffL);
     msg[7] = 0;
     appl_write(id, 16, msg);
}
