Perhaps the oddest part is that the globals, the appleevents shell are all
from a generic include that I use over and over in all my projects. This is
the first time that things didn't work, so I trying to figure out why. If
and when I do, I'll be sure to pass along my stupidity...

David : your comment "Also, your EXITPROC should be
returning an error code because it is what the Apple Event manager
expects.  So change it to "EXITPROC = gMyAEErr" or something to that
effect."

I took the code from the samples provided for FB (Apple Events.MAIN), I
checked the manual and in neither place does it state anything like that.
Hopefully FB3 will be far more specific and correct.
