"Activity" message ?

[Jacques Hausser]

Thanks, Joe

This solution implies "pass keydown" and "pass mouseDown" everywhere  
these messages are trapped... I should perhaps also add "on mouseMove"  
and  "pass mouseMove"...
I'll check it anyway. It's for an application used in an exhibition -  
about Darwin and (R)evolution. I'm using a timer to restore the  
opening screen after some time if nobody is fiddling with the computer.
