I've written a little piece that takes the text from the clipboard, processes it and 
writes the result back to the clipboard.

In general, it works fine. I select and copy the text I want processed, double-click 
my projector, it pops up, does the thing and quits. When I paste again, I get the 
processed text.

BUT! If I put the projector or an alias of it into the Apple Menu Items folder and 
actually access it through the Apple Menu... It works the first time. After that, 
regardless of the text I've selected (and pasted again just to be sure it's in the 
clipboard) I get that same text from the first time, re-processed. If I run the 
projector directly again, it works. If I run it from the Apple Menu again, I get the 
text from the most recent directly-launched run, re-processed.

I'm missing something here.
How is it holding onto this information?
And more importantly, what can I do to stop it?

MacOS 9.2.2, Dir 8.5, standard projector, minimal Xtras included.
