Does anyone know why MPW 3.0/3.1's about box doesn't work with NextWindows?
It doesn't really matter, but it seems kind of weird. Is Apple not playing
by the rules? (Wouldn't THAT be surprising ;-) )

You need to do something that triggers a complete redraw (e.g., changing the color settings in the control panel) to clean up after it. I would prefer an About box which contained some useful information (is Apple responding to the bad precedent set by THINK Pascal in going for cute rather than informative?).
