Do any of the DA gurus out there know how to prevent a desk accessory from 
exiting when another program is invoked? I'm working on a DA which has the 
'close' information imbedded in a dialog box, so no 'close box' exists per se. 
The DA may be closed by checking the appropriate box (causing it to exit), but 
I do NOT want it to exit merely because another program was run. The main 
purpose will be to have the DA exist across program invocations (although not 
necessarily system re-boots), and as far as I can tell, any time another 
program is launched, the Finder calls the close routine of the DA whether er 
or not you want it to do so.

Am I missing something, or am I merely out of luck? Thanks in advance for any 
help...
