Here's a question, since MacDTS is on (gasp!) vacation.  I have an XCMD
which sits in a loop waiting for a condition to match or a timer to expire,
but I'd like other processes *in* Hypercard to get time.  (That is, GNE or
WNE won't do the trick.)  Should I SendCardMessage(paramPtr, 'idle')?  That
doesn't seem to work.  Suggestions are welcome.
