For those who are interested, a bug in an application I have been writing
might be useful for someone else.  If you are writing an application and
you would like a window or windows to respond to pointer focus, the way
Shell does when debugging, then this is how you can do it:

1) Set a PostScript tracking Rect equal to the frame Rect of the window in
question

2) In the mouseEntered method for the object you specified to receive
the event when you set the tracking Rect, put code to make the window Main
or Key or both, and order the window as desired

Remember that whenever the window's frame Rect changes, you must reset the
tracking Rect.  This can be accomplished in methods such as
windowDidResize

A convenient place to put all of the code for making a window respond to
pointer focus can be placed in the window's delegate.  in other words,
build a small controller class that you will use as the window delegate for
all the windows you wish to have pointer focus for.
