What is the correct way to make sure that DA's get their slices of the pie when using WaitNextEvent? My application, at one point, sits in a fairly tight loop waiting for a mouse down. It calls EventAvail. It used, also, to call SystemTask, per the documentation, to be sure that DA's got a chance at the processor. New docs say that if you call WaitNextEvent, you shouldn't call SystemTask. Ever? Should I still be calling it in the loop with EventAvail? Or should I call something else (what)? Or does EventAvail do it automatically now? Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Mail words of wisdom to: B.Meike@dartmouth.edu
