(What's the status of comp.sys.mac.programmer?  We get a few messages
in it at our site, but is it 'official' and reliable?)

Question #1:
I'm having trouble detecting double-clicks when I'm using lists.
LClick doesn't seem to want to ever return true, no matter how fast
I punch the button.  Here's a skeleton of my code:

if GetNextEvent(theEvent,everyEvent) then 
	case theEvent.what of
		mouseDown:  MouseCode(theEvent);
...

procedure MouseCode(theEvent:eventrecord);
begin
...
	SetPort(windowWithTheList);
	GlobalToLocal(theEvent.where);
	if LClick(theEvent.where,theEvent.modifiers,myList) then
		stuff;
...
end;


"stuff" is never executed.  What's going on?
