I wrote a program that allows the user to switch between display
resolutions (ala DPaint III), and the code works fine [applause].

The problem is, when I call this code from where I handle
MENUPICK events, the system crashes every time.  If I call the
*exact same code* from where I handle RAWKEY events, it all works
perfectly.  I handle all the IDCMP events in the same while()
loop that gets all the messages waiting at my port, so it is
basically just a different location in my switch() statement.

As near as I can figure, the system hasn't completed doing something
that has to do with menus and my window/screen, and I go and close the
screen and window before this gets completed.  I'm not sure, though,
because I do all my event handling after I have copied the 
IntuiMessage structure and replied to the message via ReplyMsg(),
but maybe this isn't enough.

Any and all help appreciated, thanks.
