I have a number of programs that are meant to display information or graphics on the screen without being very useful alone. There's MacEyes, the spinning globe programs, NavCom, MFRuler, and I'm sure more. The problem I have is that these show up just like any other application. That is, they come to the front when I cycle through the applications, and they show up in the ApplicationMenu menu. What I would like is a way to say "this application should never come up in the cycle", and, if possible, a way to tell ApplicationMenu that the application should appear at the bottom of the menu, maybe separated from the rest by a dotted line. Am I just missing a feature of Multifinder that I should know about, or is there no concept of a "detached background process" on the Mac? -- David Elliott dce@sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce (408)944-4073
