Is there maybe a bug in Think Pascal under System 7 for the new Apple menu? When the Event manager tells me that the user selected an item from the apple menu (greater than 2), you're supposed to call GetItem and then OpenDeskAcc right? Well, did System 7 patch the AddResMenu and OpenDeskAcc calls to make them work right. It must have. But why can't I write a new program to support this? What happens is, I select an item from the apple menu and nothing seems to happen. That is, until I quit my program. Then the item is "run." This is regardless of whether I'm in Think Pascal's enivironment or as a stand-alone application. Any particular reason for this strangeness? System info: Mac Classic (and LC) with 4 megs RAM each, System 7, and Think Pascal 3.0.2. (All extensions disabled, too) Thanks in advance for any help you can offer...

Any particular reason for this strangeness? If the Finder can't get its AppleEvent to launch the DA item, then it won't open. You ARE calling WaitNextEvent and not using the "evil" SetEventMask, are you??? =============================================================================== | Glenn L.
