It's been *very* long, but I remember that the loop was needed,=20
although I don't remember why. Maybe the CodeWarrior debugger=20
doesn't send the OAPP event if you run a program? I'm sorry, I=20
simply don't remember. But, in the upcoming 222b1 (due in a few=20
minutes) I've changed the loop to use 100 WaitNextEvent calls=20
with a 1-tick timeout. Let's see whether that fixes the problem.

And thanks for trying to up the loop count, that makes me more=20
hopeful that the solution I tried will work...
