I have an application which is supposed to launch another, under Multifinder, and return. I have had it working OK at one time, now it does not, that may be another story. I am experiencing the same 9 click events problem that we recently discussed here briefly. Also, lately, upon launch, the 9 beeps occur, and then the application just hangs. The mouse is active, it just does not begin running correctly. If I drop into MacsBug and ExitToApp, then it quits and all is OK. I don't know a lot about MF, but I suspect my problem is related to it. Any advice ? Eric

So I noticed a little Trap _Chain I try this and it no longer Destroys the current app it simply trashes the system. Thus I noticed Heap Zones, but there seems to be no way to safely create a new heap Zone for the new app in MF. I am fresh out of ideas and would appreciate a person with knowlage on this subject giving me some help. I would appreciate mail as I am not always able to keep up with this news group.

Control returns immediately to that app once the launch request is registered. TechNote 126 has all the details. _Chain is, I understand, obsolete and should not be used (the fact that it crashes the system has presumably given you some hint of this :-)). Jeremy Roussak
