I understand, but you had asked about glutSetOption, and that is a 
Freeglut extension designed to address the window close issue. So I was 
telling you (a) you could just *feature* it out and (b) how to survive 
a window close /if/ we ever get that far.

Boy, that sounds like Glut calling exit(), though of course that should 
not happen on glutCreateWindow. There is an Apple list for OpenGL. I 
wonder if they would have any insight. Or some of the gmane lists, 
which seem more numerous than comp.mac.* lists.

Would it be interesting to download the Lispworks freebee and see if 
you get the same thing there?

But first I would put in the code I suggested about setting up the 
glut-wm-close-func by duplicating the glut-close-func setup. And you 
might want to put a (break) in the callabcks to see if maybe we are 
getting further than we think. You can add the break to the macro you 
see wrapping the code in each callback so you just have to put it one 
place.

ps. I download Lisp In a Box for Max OS X and it seems to work right 
out of the box, as they say. I would have a lot of Emacs to learn, but 
I think I want to do that anyway. So maybe I will be using OpenMCL 
shortly.... say, you included a tar last time. I just focused on the 
glutSetOption problem. If I look at your code will I see how you loaded 
the Apple Glut? k
