I have noticed something strange when working with the Think C 4.0 under MultiFinder. When I run any program within Think C, it seems that all background (MultiFinder and other programs') events are not recognized. What I am talking about is this: I compiled the ArtClass project and ran it. I noticed that my SuperClock stopped running (except when I cross window boundries at which time it jumps to the current time.) and that my screen saver AfterDark did not kick in when its time was up nor when I placed the cursor in the "Hot Corner" of the screen (but then the SuperClock ran fine when the cursor was in this Hot Corner) I linked the project, built the application and ran it. The same thing exactly happened. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something wrong under the TCL environment? All responses and suggestions are welcomed since I am writing a program using TCL and I need to resolve this problem. Sincerely yours, Bassel Soudan soudan@iitmax.iit.edu

With the project loaded, check the special bits settings under the 'Project'
menu, 'Set Project Type...' dialog box. The 'MF Attribs' pulldown menu lets
you tell the application which MF events to be looking out for. The TCL will
watch these events.
If this doesn't work (I don't know why it wouldn't), sorry.
