Re: Open Handler, when is it called?

I don't have a definitive answer for you on this but there's a related issue that I encountered that might be important to keep in mind.

In my experience dealing with this on MacOS 9, the constructor and start methods seem to occur before the openDoc handler is called but there is some inconsistency in the order of the calls to the MRJ openApp and openDoc handlers.

The order in which the two handlers are called appears to depend on whether other events are generated during the startup period.

If the application is allowed to start up without any mouse motion, the handlers are called in a different sequence than when the mouse is moved a lot.

I had to work around this issue in my code to determine when to show a new untitled document.
