- Well, the only menu bar that should be grayed out is THINK C's. I
- think I disabled the Apple Menu because I had problems using
- OpenDeskAcc() from inside of CopyBits. After you switch out of THINK
- C, you should be able to use other apps normally.

- Well, I found another bug, causing Think Pascal to jump into
- MacsBug just after compiling my code (in the moment, when it starts
- the application in the TP environment). It is not a serious bug,
- since typing "es" in MacsBug does everything right.
- Any suggestions how to avoid this?
-
- This one I haven't heard of.

- *sigh* ... I am _way_ too busy right now to work on the THINK Back
- code or to fix any bugs in it. It's especially a shame because Devon
- Hubbard has written a great cdev interface for the "next" version, but
- I want to fix one last bug before releasing it.
-
- If anyone is interested in working on THINK Back, drop me an email. It
- is written mostly in THINK C, with some inline assembly in a couple
- places. It does involve a number of trap patches, so you should feel
- comfortable with writing INITs and patching the toolbox if you want to
- work on it.
