I remember reading somewhere about a "broadcast" mechanism  for OpenLook
which allows global preferences and resource settings to be modified and
sent to all currently executing applications.   I have checked the
only articles I have on OpenLook (the Autumn'88 edition of SunTechnology)
but couldn't find any references to this mechanism.

Does this mechanism exist in OpenLook and if so where and are there
any papers that mention its concept/design/use ??

Is this the way Property Windows work?

Thanks for any info,
