SystemWindow editable fields?

Thanks for your response, Ken.

By setting the systemWindow to false I would lose the ability to have 
the window visible at all times. Unless, are you suggesting that I 
somehow reset the systemWindow to true whenever the suspendStack 
message is sent?

Are you able in Panther to open a web page in a separate browser and 
then enter and edit text in a field with the systemWindow property set 
to true? Most of the time the keydown messages get sent to the browser 
and not to the Rev app, even though I click in the field to highlight 
it in the Rev app first.

There are indeed times when this actually works in my project - I can 
actually go back and forth between the Rev window and the browser 
window and enter text into various fields in the Rev app, but those 
times are rare. I can't figure out what causes it to work right.

Thanks,
Dan
