After reading that "palette" above was a miss in email, I have 
verified that the same occurs under OS9. When the palette is hidden, 
it always shows. However, when it is showing, it hides only on every 
other switch. From watching messages, I see that the suspendStack is 
sent one time to the palette stack and another time to the other 
stack. It seems that when the palette shows first time, it remains 
the defaultstack so the next suspend will go to it. This happens even 
if I just click the palette to generate suspend/resume. Sounds like 
engine bug.
