Thanks,
this was very informative. I will study this kernel and see if I'm able
to use it.
Your statement below is exactly how I viewed this problem initially and
thought that it worked this way. In my opinion, different applications
can never be assumed to be well-behaved and cooperative. Then we will
wind up with systems behaving like windows 3.11 and the old Macintoshes.
(thanks everybode else to, you are all very helpfull)
