I'm working on a DA which has the 'close' information imbedded in a dialog box, so no 'close box' exists per se. The DA may be closed by checking the appropriate box (causing it to exit), but I do NOT want it to exit merely because another program was run. The main purpose will be to have the DA exist across program invocations (although not necessarily system re-boots), and as far as I can tell, any time another program is launched, the Finder calls the close routine of the DA whether er or not you want it to do so. Am I missing something, or am I merely out of luck?
