not completely true for OS 2.0...
For 2.0 the app launcher doesn't behave like another application. The
running application does not receive the appstopevent until another
application is executed (other than the app launcher). This means that if
your app traps the buttons, auto off time-out, etc. they still will be
trapped even after you switch to the app launcher. The user will need to
switch to a different app to terminate the previous app.
This should not be a problem as long as you return button control to the OS
when you receive the frmcloseform message and not the appstopevent.
