So... maybe I would not care about that much, but it is not clean in any way. Nonetheless we would not get the proposed AES extention to MagiC so there is not really a way for complete portability...
But imagine, you don't need to introduce a complete different way of handling mouse clicks and everything when you need to handle desktop window (root window). This is incovenient and it eats also some memory and programming time. Moreover I think it would be cleaner approach than having the desktop window something weird that can only contain OBJECT tree....

Hello!Well, XaAES is different. OS independent desktop application cannot rely on this fact however.But they should for sure not rely on the TOS-AES behaviour of executing progdefs in supermode.Ciao ...Frank -- ATARI FALCON 040 // MILAN 060 ----------------------------------------- http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~fnaumann/ e-Mail: fnaumann@freemint.de
