One such thing that occurs to me would be some sort of window redrawing, e.g. when
changing styles on objects visible in a mapper window. Off course, there's hardly any
reason for having any open windows inside MIPro while running as a scheduled task.
Anyone know the reason for this "focus demanding" behaviour of MIPro's ? Is there a
valid technical reason for it ?
