[Coco] OS9 Programming question

[camillus Blockx]

hi

maybe you can set flags for each window, and clear all the flag on return
to the main code. This would avoid having pending breaks. ofcourse the
polling of all the flags needs to be done on entry in the main code.

i hope this gives you ideas.
