since this topic has come up, there's something that i've always wanted to know about desk accessories: lets imagine that you are in low resolution, and an accessory was loaded at boot up time. what happens to this accessory when you switch resolution. what i've been able to trace myself is that the accessory will get an AC_CLOSE message, but what is it supposed to do with that?? the reason why i'm asking is that only the accessories that i've written end up eating memory everytime you switch resolutions. the memory that is eaten is equivalent to the size of the accessory! (not a good situation to say the least). or is there anything special that has to be done at startup so that this memory eating problem doesn't happen?? -- Ignac A.
