Here is an interesting question.  I have a shell program that I am writing.
Under System 6.0.x, I run the program and go to the file menu and pull down to
NEW for a new window (or cmd-n form the keyboard).  Under System 7, I run my
app and it comes up with the new window right away????!!!

I looked at the code in SourceBug 1.0.1 (more on this later) and found that
after calling the following function:

for (count=1; count<=3;count++)
    EventAvail(EveryEvent,&event)

I have an AppleEvent waiting that gets processed by AEProcessEvent in my
DoEvent loop.  This somehow opens the window upon startup???!!!!  Before
calling EventAvail, I have a call to FlushEvents.

is there a particular reason for this happening????


Also, How come on SourceBug, I cant step through the for loop above.  I hit the
for ... and look at my count variable to notice that it is 1 and step again to
the EventAvail and all of a sudden, it has done all 3 implementations and count
is now 4 and I cant watch it change with the events to see what kind of events
i'm getting.  Is there some way around this??  I like to watch my variables
each time through the loop, not just once!!!!!!!

Thanx in advance.
