RE: [MacPerl] MacPerl, AppleEvents and Timeouts

The only candidate I can think of that's running at the time the card/clos
event is generated is the status bar with the "Menu Bar"/"Object DB"/"Quick
Script"/"Tech Support" buttons. I haven't investigated, but I suspect that's
the "card" that's being closed. At any rate leaving it out didn't make a
difference to how the script runs, so it's gone now.

There's an awful lot in Frontier that I would have loved to explore, but my
main job has always been automation and scripting rather than doing dialogs
and UI, so I've never really have the time. Probably never will, either. One
of the things I'm using MacPerl* for is to do the things that we've
traditionally relied on Frontier to do, with the aim of replacing Frontier
4.2.3. It's been a good app but it's getting old, and already we've seen
some incompatibilities between it and the latest versions of Mac OS. I
figure MacPerl will be around and supported for a while.

card/clos should be related to Frontier closing one of its pseudo-dialogs
(which are actually rather clever things, at one time called MacBird for no
reason I ever understood).

In Frontier 4.2.3, system.verbs.apps.card.close() is one thing which sends
the card/clos event.

I'm trying to think, but nothing happens.
