[comp.sys.mac] dialogues during boot?

	What is the best way to display a dialogue box
during boot, say from an INIT resource? I have tried different variations, but
can't seem to get the dialogue box up without initialising the window Mgr thus
clearing the startup screen.

    Why don't you want to clear the startup screen?
Anyways, I remember stepping through some code that
did that once and they did all their drawing without
the higher managers, just quickdraw.  They drew their
window with lines, and tested their buttons with
PtInRect.
