So long as the second 'main program' portion is in a cast that isn't
shared by the MIAW.
Chased that one for a day. :-6
I'm still having trouble with 'forget'
When the MIAW is re-opened it often crashes, even in Director.
Because the MIAW is bound to get re-opened (the dictionary on a language
CD), I just use 'close'.
I don't _like_ it. but it works.
Any other gotchas for closing MIAWs?
