My app (by default) automatically re-opens files that were open the

suppress this behavior by holding down the shift key during launch.
I've tried looking at the most recent event object, but since the app
just launched, there is no such event.

I have read that I should try using the Carbon APIs, but I'm getting
lost in the need to provide a GrafPtr (boy, does that take me back),
and it seems like it should be easier than that, or that there should
be a sample code snippet around, since I doubt that this is an
uncommon need.

Any better advice or references available than "search the archives"?

GetCurrentKeyModifiers(). One call does it all. I don't know how this might be done in Cocoa.
