Does anyone know what state the Control Panel is in at the time of a closeDev
call?  I do a GetDItem and SetIText when I get a closeDev call, but it never
works, and sometimes it even crashes.

In macsbug I notice that my DITL list is still pointed to by the Control Panel
window and that my cdev file is still open.  So why am I not getting a valid
Handle back from GetDItem?

On a related note- what happens when you get an updateDev call?  I do some
drawing in the cdev window, which will get erased as soon as I get another
message(other than a nulDev), but this drawing almost never is seen.  I know
that the code for it gets executed, but the drawing seems to be wiped out with
something.

Thank you...
