I've been adding Publish & Subscibe capabilities to a program I am
working on.  For the most part all is working well.

My problem is that when I write out a published edition, I don't 
produce the automatic update I'd expect.  The data is out there - if 
I do a "Get Edition Now" from the subscribers they get the new edition
data.

When I publish an edition from another program, the expected read
AppleEvent shows up, but not when I update an edition.

Is there a "trick" to getting this behavior to work?  Might there
be some flag I need to set or additional call to make?  

Here's my write edition routine.  It's pretty much lifted from the
Edition Manager example from the System 7 CD-ROM.


void DoWriteEdition(FileRecHndl frHndl)
{
	OSErr				stat;
	EditionRefNum		eRefNum;
	Handle				h;

		
	 stat = OpenNewEdition((*frHndl)->doc.OutSection, 
	 			docCreator, &(**frHndl).fileState.fss, &eRefNum);
	
	if (stat != noErr) {
		DebugStr("\p OpenNewEdition");
		return;
	}
	
	h = (Handle) (*frHndl)->doc.resultPictH;
	HLock(h);
    stat = WriteEdition(eRefNum, 'PICT', *h, GetHandleSize(h);
	HUnlock(h);
	
	if (stat != noErr) DebugStr("\p WriteEdition error");
	
	if (stat == noErr) {
		stat = CloseEdition(eRefNum, true);
	} else {
		stat = CloseEdition(eRefNum, false);
	}
}

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.
