	Sometimes it goes the other way; a program which works fine as 
a standalone mysteriously crashes when run within the environment. The heart
of the problem is that it's very difficult to provide an accurate simulation
of a normal Macintosh environment within Lightspeed Pascal. 

	Until the debugger functions as a separate component under MultiFinder
(as in LightspeedC), the only recourse is to be careful and use TMON's Trap
Discipline feature, which will find all kinds of obscure bugs that you might 
never encounter otherwise....
