Greetings,

    Does anyone know the innards of the main event loop in the "run" method
of Application class?  I am trying to override the run method in my 
Application subclass.

    Specifically, I would like a routine I wrote to be called each time
through the main event loop.  I have tried using DPSAddTimedEntry with an
interval of 0, but the animation done by the routine called is still jerky.
While the 'jerkiness' may not be avoided totally with a heavy load, I would
still prefer a more direct call from the main event loop to my routine.

    I have also tried overriding sendEvent, but sendEvent is not called
when there is no event.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
