AW events are entirely up to the programmer. My point is they are not
processed by wm.rptr but by iop.rptr. This explains why there is no
reaction to keystrokes defined in the main menu unless the AW happens
to be a MSW.
Again, I find this not to be the case.
Wolfgang writes:
My assertion only applies to AWs that are not Menu SubWindows: MSWs
respond exactly as you say.
If the pointer happens to be in an AW and it is being read by a Wman
call
(eg wm.rptr or MCALL) it wont return. Naturally: 'cause there aint no
Wman-recognised menu there!
