Hi:

I need to be able to close a MacApp window from a button placed within
that window.  I have tried using the .Close method, but the system crashed
on me.  My current way of doing this is to have a global variable which
is normally NIL, but if non-NIL contains a window (gWindowToClose), and
whenever my application sees that this is non-NIL, closes the window.

I think that there should be an easier way of doing this.  Perhaps the
PostEvent solution mentioned in an earlier message?
