Well, I'm working on a little project which will have lots of little
windows around (1 - X where X is related to how obnoxious you're feeling)
and I'll be getting inputs (mouseclicks, gadgets, kill etc.) from them
all. What I would like to ask is for those of you who have done something
like this (like "Browser") what have you done in your event loop to read
all these messages and tell which window they come from? I haven't seen
any good examples yet (though I'm going to check out what Matt does in
DME), and would appreciate any advice from those wiser than myself. Would
you suggest looking at all the UserPorts? Replacing all the UserPorts with
that of the first one? (that sounds fishy!) Thanks for any help.
