not as far as I am aware... but if you need the MIAW often, it would seem
to be a better strategy to just close the MIAW (which keeps it in memory
and makes it appear much more quickly) than forgetting it... unless you
are on a very tight memory budget.

HTH - it is one of the most common "why is my projector crashing with an
error in IML32.DLL?" problems. If you think of a lingo event as initiating
a thread, then it is good practice to allow that thread to terminate. If
you have the MIAW forget itself, then the thread is self-referential. When
it comes to the forget command, it must forget itself, but if it has done
so, what is it forgetting... etc etc. I recommend using the same strategy
for objects too.
