Re: turnkey gotchas (?)

Thanks Mike (& Bob),

In this case I am using DefaultClass. The problematic section of my code
  works when the app window is an extension of the sf environment but
has something to do with the fact that the turnkey doesn't function. In
that section a pre-existent file(a dir dump)is opened and parsed and
manipulated to fill a rather large array of strings (full path names of
other files). The code is rather long and messy but runs quickly enough.
Considering that [C ... C] has been no help, I am going to try getting
rid of the :PRUNE code and the -APP code and perhaps experimenting with
something to discard MSGs while the dir-parsing code is at work - on the
guess that the Windows message queue is getting clogged. Not totally
logical, but the situation makes me wonder if SF does a better job of
handling Windows messages that Windows does on its own. Will report;
interested in stories from others. Ah yes - I am running the most recent
version of SF.
