Hi Paul,

At one point, I was just curious about when my app was being suspended  
or resumed, so I inserted some noise in those instances; just beeps,  
but you could do something more elaborate, assuming there was some one  
in earshot, or perhaps, write something to a special file when this  
happened; something you could check on later possibly?

If this makes any sense,

Joe Wilkins
