@skidracer:
Alright, I got around to testing the two examples in your post.
1) The Test App ONLY closes when you hit a key. That is correct.
2) This Code:
Framework brl.d3d7max2d
Graphics 640,480,0
Notify "hello"
WaitKey
Notify "Goodbye"
It never makes it to the first notify window. Here is what it does:
It draws the graphics window with a black content area and the mouse pointer becomes an "hourglass". I can move the window around on the screen. If I hit the red "x" nothing happens. When I press a key on the keyboard the content area in the window goes from black to white and the mouse pointer, "outside of the content area" returns to a normal pointer. If you put the pointer into the content area it becomes an hourglass again.
At this point I hit the red "x" and get the "End Program" dialog where it tells me the program, untitled.exe, is not responding. I click "End Now". After a few moments I get the "Non Responsive Program" dialog and I click "Don't Send" and the world comes back to normal.
There is no way that I can get into debug mode to check anything. I cannot even step through the code. (Unless I am doing something wrong.)
3) This code:
Framework brl.d3d7max2d
Graphics 640,480,0
Cls
DrawText "hello",0,0
Flip
WaitKey
This code des the SAME THING that is in step 2.
