After completing some applications from the Macintosh Programming Primer (book ), I decided to try and make my own simple program. I just wanted it to display menus, the apple and file, I didn't want it to do anything, just display menus . So I did the defines, and had it initalize the ToolBox/MenuBar/Menus, but I c ouldn't make any progress without having to add "HandleAppleChoice" and "Handle FileChoice" and telling what should happend when I go to the file or apple menu . And I also had to add all this HandleEvents junk. Why do I have to have event s when all I went is menus? I am confused and frustrated. It will compile fine but then give me a system error when it runs. if someone can help me, I could s end them the source code that I typed up. Thank You very much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sari Khoury BITNET : 3XMQGAA@CMUVM Art Department Internet: skhoury@postcard.engin.umich.edu Central Michigan University UUCP : "psuvax1"!cmuvm.bitnet!3xmqgaa Mt.
