this is true, but if you look in the runtime, you will see that this is a
'pseudo-event' that is inserted by staz'n'andy [hey they'd have looked sore
if apple decided to use it one day!]. i think... that it is inserted as a
marker for a menu event, in fact i use it to clean up after pasting, but
before the dialog sees what i've done.
i just would like to know if what i'm doing is dumb... or could this be its
use.

no. these are low-level events and most of what you are mentioning are
called high-level events, meaning that they come in through a different
door.

you don't, you grab it.

:-j

ps. i cleared up my disappearing cursor events. in fact i was messing with
the windows with an attempt to create pseudo-application-modal windows [yes,
i will try the appearance runtime one of these days], and so my windows were
in fact never in front, and so no field events were getting generated.
