I am a brand new Mac programmer with a very strange problem.  I wrote a
simple program shell (in Think Pascal) to do basic menu/window/mouse/keyboard
interface.  Some of the code was taken from the Chernicoff (sp?) book, and
some is my own.

I wrote the program shell on a Mac 2, and it worked just fine.  I have 
discovered, though, that it does have a problem running on other machines
(I've tried it on two Mac Se, and two other Mac 2's).  The program itself
(run either as an application, or in the compiler's integrated environment)
runs just great.  When I leave it, however, double cliking for ALL other
programs is disabled.  Single clicking and menu clicks (also single) work
just great.

I don't know enough about the machine architecture to even have a guess where
to start.  It seems to me that there must be something that I am doing in
the program, yet the shell is very simple.  Also, I thought it might have
something to do with a special resource which only likes the machine on which
it is compiled, but I compiled a new copy on a different machine - same 
problem.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated, either by posting, or by E-mail.
