Is it possible to get a Carbon RAEL app to continue in the main event loop while menus are open?
Can menus be handled in another event loop or something so that normal processing can proceed uninterrupted?

The main event loop does continue to run in a RAEL app. Of course, this usually means that timers fire and you stay inside the call to RunApplicationEventLoop(). What are you doing that you are seeing differently?

Yes, you are right. I misphrased my question somewhat. The timers still run, and I'm still in the RAEL call.
I'll take an example instead: I have a networking thread that posts events to the main event queue and those events are picked up by an eventhandler that only handles that kind of event. When a menu is down I get no events in that eventhandler even though the network thread still posts events. (For debugging I set a global flag when menutracking begins and I clear it when menutracking ends. When the flag is set I get no events in my eventhandler.)
