Can a background task under MultiFinder make itself foreground? e.g. by posting a mouseDown event in its window? I'm thinking about things like a screen blanker that would wait for idleness in the background, then show a black window. The BIX article was unclear about limitations of background tasks. Is file I/O really OK? How about creating or selecting a window? Daniel Ranson ...!seismo!mcvax!inria!{crcge1 or cnetlu}!ranson
