Tracking user exits and returns

[Michael J. Lew]

I am finishing a project where students will generate data in a 
simulation that I have constructed in Rev and then take the data to a 
commercial graphing and analysis package for further crunching (the 
excellent Macintosh program called pro Fit). In the session I expect 
the students will switch between my program and the graphing package 
about half a dozen times.

I am planning a full evaluation of the software and associated notes 
from the point of view of both usability and learning outcomes and 
would like a reasonably full audit-trail recording the students' 
actions and results. This is, of course, very straightforward for the 
Rev bit... but how can I record when the students switch to the other 
package and how do I know when they switch back to my Rev simulation? 
I expected that I could use closeStack and openstack messages but no 
good. They don't seem to be sent when the user switches to and from 
another program. Any suggestions?

Regards,
