MacApp 2.0 Globals

MacApp 2.0 Globals ( © 1988 Apple Computer. Inc. The MacApp unit defines a number of global constants, variables, types, procedures, and functions. The globals documented here are described for your reference, but you will probably not use many of them directly. MacApp methods use the globals, while the application code very rarely, if ever. Constants This section documents the constants defined as part of the MacApp package. Although the values of the constants are given here for your information, those values are subject to change. (In some cases, when the values are very likely to change, they are not given here.) Normally, you should simply use the constant identifier and not concern yourself with its value. The constants are categorized according to purpose.
