-
- When you use the "send" command to send a HyperTalk script from HC
- to another process (including another instance of HC), HyperCard
- automatically sets the interaction level to "never interact".
-
- When HyperCard receives an Apple event with the interaction level
- set to "never interact", it sets the HyperTalk property "lockError-
- Dialogs" to true.
-
- You can set lockErrorDialogs as you like, either on the sending or
- receiving end, to override HyperCard's built-in behavior. On the
- sending end, include a line of HyperTalk that sets lockErrorDialogs
- with the script that you send. On the receiving end, set the
- lockErrorDialogs in an "on appleEvent" handler.

- WILDep01. Bizarre, yes, but that's how the Process Manager names
- the PPC ports of newly launched high level event-aware applications.
- The first four characters of this string are the signature of the
- app. The second four are always ep01.
