I have written an application that sets up the VBLTask to 
collect data once a few seconds, so I can play with
the data while more is collected INSIDE my program. But then
sometimes I want to do other things, simple but OUTSIDE...

If I were still in the DOS world(I thought the Mac is
better so I switched), I could invoke a second
copy of the command processor so that I can do all
the DOS things while the data is collected in the background.
So the application Terminate & Stay Residence. 

Can somebody tells me how to do this in a Mac? In other words,
how do my application runs in the background so I can use the
Finder without using Multifinder? 

Thanks in advanced.
