    Wanna know how to bomb TOS 1.4 (and maybe others)?  Put two
windows on the screen, and click the close box on the top one three times
EXTREMELY quickly.  I can just get in three clicks before AES (or whoever)
says it's not there anymore.  Bam.  Top window closes, lower gets the
raise signal.  Bam.  It closes.  Boomity boom boom, can't close any more
windows, can we?  
     Seriously, has anybody else been able to do this?  I'm using the
(much-maligned) Naksha mouse, with the double click speed and key rates 
cranked way up, and I can usually only do it when I've got a few liters
of caffiend in me :-).  Standard desktop, 2.5 megs, and a rev. c 520.  Is
it me, or is it memorex?  If anybody out there has dug into the ROMs, like
say one of the programmers of TOS (hi a.p.), what happens internally when
there's another close window event on a valid close box, *but when the time
comes to close it, IT AIN'T THERE?
     Flames off, please.  Come visit me and I'll demo it for you (and I'll spend
the next six hours unborrowing sody pop :-).
