Here is a little known secret, which you are apparently 'starving' for.

A 'program' can be run as an accessory or a program, but of course, you must
be able to tell whether or not you are a DA.  And once you find out you are a
DA, you must menu_register and evnt_mesg or evnt_multi to catch AC_OPEN calls.

Now the 'trick.'

To determine if you are a DA, simply look at your basepage.  SPecifically,
look to see if you have a parent process.  If the pointer to your parent's
BP is zero, then you are a DA.  If your parent pointer is not NULL, you are
a program.

I expect that now everyone on the net will make their programs run either way.
