Is there a serious garbage collection problem

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Don't forget about locking the screen or the recents.


I made a "lockall" handler in, oh, about 1988. Use it all the time.


You have to be careful, though, since sometimes you expect messages to pass transparently. By transparent, I mean in ones brain. Don't get caught the other way around.
