[MacPerl] Mac::Dialogs questions

[Paul DuBois <paul@snake.net>]

I've been discussing with Alan Fry the use of Dialogs from within MacPerl
and we've run up against some problems.  I'll list them here in case they're
solvable.  Or, if they're not currently solvable, that would be useful
information as well.

1) How can you make the cursor blink in an edit field?  I've asked this
before recently, but I don't recall seeing an answer.  My conjecture is
that you must call TEIdle() during the event loop, but I don't find a way
to do that.

2) If you create a dialog with MacDialog, display it, then hit command-period
to terminate the script, the dialog box remains on screen.  Is there a
way within a script to receive a notification that you've been aborted, so
that some cleanup can be done?
