And mine has five. And dragging the cdev to front is very annoying,
especially since HyperCard has modal edit (_WHY_ oh _WHY_ ? But it's
said to go away in 2.0...)

I posted a question about this a short while ago, but have as yet
not got an answer.

Q: I want to implement a FKEY / INIT pair to change KCHR
   My plan is to patch _KeyTrans at startup time to change the
   pointer on the stack at call time to a pointer to the KCHR
   I want to use. The FKEY toggles this.

A: This ?is? / ?is not? the right way to do it.

Happy hacking !
