If you lock the journal on the system heap, by setting the appropriate bits
with the Resource Mover, the journal WILL record actions across application
launches.  It's been a couple of months since I experimented with this, so
I forget the details, but by experimenting I eventually got it to work this
way.  It still got "bomb" errors sometimes, though.

Oh, I do remember one other essential thing... there is a menu resource
associated with the journal.  It also has to be locked on the system heap.
If you fail to do this, when you pull down the menu after launching the
application, the menu comes up as a blank box (the right size but no text),
and when you release the mouse button,  it gets a "bomb".

I hope this will be of some help, anyway... experiment, it does work!  (sort
of).
