	Beleive it or not YOU NEED TO DO THIS!  When running on MultiFinder,
and your window gets an update (and your WDEF gets a draw message) from the
foreground you WDEF will get called FROM THE FOREGROUND APPS HEAP!  This means
that your GetResource will probably fail since it won't be able to find your
appl resources that it needs.  I consider this a bug in the window mgr, Apple
tells me its a feature and can't promise to fix it for System 7.0.
