Any client that has bit 17 (0x20000) set, is not stopped except when the single-task-app has this bit also set, i.e. when it has 0x3xxxx. --- Ths F_defines are used in p_flags in the basepage and configurable by the user. Because XaAES cannot access the basepage of other processes, they are translated to the new proc.modeflags (The M_-defines). The use of modeflags also eases the code a bit (not 4 -> but 1). > What happens with the existing keyboard timeout routines that you need > to bypass them ? I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. The pending timeouts when ST-mode is entered? I don't think there are any and if so, it's not a desaster to lose 1 keypress (a lost release cannot do anything because there is no keyrepeat in ST-mode). The reason to bypass the timeout is that PD disables the timer-interrupt (I think) and there would only be one keypress possible. The same happens when you boot with GEM=ROM on original hardware (don't know why it happens there). I was thinking to extend this for the ROM-desktop to have keyboard there too. -Helmut ------MIME delimiter for sendEmail-993440.290288166--
