I thought the QuickDraw stuff was low level, and had nothing to do with stuff like resource management window management, event management, etc. and haven't heard of any other 'term' for any of the stuff in there except the 'Finder'.

The routines in ROM (including the window manager, resource manager, etc.) are referred to as the Toolbox. I think that the routines that are loaded from disk (not counting patches to the ROM) are called Operating System routines. -- Thomas Newton Thomas.Newton@spice.cs.cmu.edu
