Based on something that happened with the "Dimwit" module from #Pyro! 4.0, I'd guess that this is a driver call to set the brightness of the #screen. You are correct about that. Can anyone from Apple comment on whether this will be supported in the final release of 2.0? I would assume that you saw the problem more frequently under After Dark because ANY module can ask After Dark to dim the screen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Patrick Beard, Macintosh Programmer (beard@lbl.gov) - - Berkeley Systems, Inc.
