Hmm... I thin it's too bad that the online manuals don't contain
toolbox information as well - like an online copy of Inside Mac for A/UX :-)

The screensaver shouldn't _post_ events, though, just listen in to them.
Is there a way using AUXDispatch ?

Okay, here goes:

h+mac.h+:1> man 1 launch
...
          launch -[it] filename [document...]
          launch -p[it] filename document...
...

h+mac.h+:2> launch -t Storm
launch: illegal option -- t
usage: launch [-padr] appName [docName ...]
h+mac.h+:3>

Now, what does "adr" and "it" have in common - the intersection is
the empty set :-(

Anyway, thanx for a great OS,
