I'm getting along quite well writing an application in MacApp, and I
cant seem to find in the 2.0b5 documentation details on how to be
polite under Multifinder. Basically, at one point, when the user hits
a DoIt button, the App needs to do some intense calculations for quite
a long time. During that time, I would like the user to be able to
interact with the Mac, and indeed even switch the App into the
background so he can do something else useful while the crunching is
going on. Can anyone give me some pointers to how to go about this?
Thanks
