I suppose if you dont ask, you dont get so ...

How about a #define that I can detect to determine the current project type.
That way, my CDEF (etc) sources can contain code like 

pascal long
#ifdef _APPLICATION_    /* change name to cdefmain to allow testbed */
cdefmain(......
#endif
#ifdef _CODESEGMENT_
main(.....
#endif

and my (mostly) general purpose textedit routines can determine whether they
are in _APPLICATION_ or _DESKACC_ (so I can refresh clikloop & workbreak 
routines only when they need it..., etc)

And how about different names for the default pre-compiled MacHeaders files.
That way, I can have the OOPS stuff precompiled for applications and desk accs
and not worry for CDEFs or INITs.  Maybe make it selectable from the 'Set 
Project Type' window.  (Yeh, I know I can just turn it off in the options 
window and manually #include it.  This is a wish list, isnt it)
