My thanks to all who replied to my queries about TP 3.0.  Except for the
%@#@$*$&(!) jump table limitations (which MPW doesn't deal with either),
it sounds like TP might even be useful to an old MPW/MacApp f*rt like me.

I consider Object Pascal's jump table limitations a fundamental design flaw.
The real killer about it is that it doesn't rear its ugly, wartful head
until you've put several months of work into your application.  Maybe now
that a LOT more people are going to be using MacApp, Apple (or Symantec!)
will finally correct this problem.
