Well, since you have or can get the Poser source code, you can answer
for yourself what sequences Poser looks for. For entering a function
(handled in ProfileFnEnter), it generally looks for JSR, BSR, and
TRAP #15 instructions. For exiting a function (handled in
ProfileFnExit), it generally looks for RTS and RTE instructions
(being smart enough to recognize when RTS is actually being used to
*call* a function).
Are you handling any exceptions with ErrTry, ErrCatch, etc? Poser is
supposed to be smart enough to handle those, too, but perhaps that's
an avenue that should be investigated.
