Good point!  So, first step: write a MacPerl script which flashes the 
menu bar. Step Two, rewrite the script so that it flashes the menu bar at 
a set interval (every few minutes or so).  Finally, rewrite the script so 
that it runs in the background except when actually flashing the menu bar.

Looks like this calls for both Mac::Menus and Mac::Processes. Other than 
the standard reference to Inside Macintosh, is there anyone out there who 
can give a quick&dirty on setting the mode flags under the process 
manager?  This looks like the thread will devolve into a discussion for 
the Mac-Toolbox list. If necessary we'll continue the discussion there.
