I'm developing a desk accessory which reads a resource
file continuously. When the DA is running as a foreground
task it periodically receives accCursor events which
is used for reading a couple of resources. So far so good.

However when running in the background the DA only receives
accRun events and the DA can't reach the resource file because
UseResFile(myResFile) gives ResError=-193 "resource file not found".
It seems to me that when the DA receives accRun events its called
without a context switching but I don't know for sure.

Does anyone know what's the problem here?

Thanks in advance
