closing another application when Eprime resumes from suspend

[David McFarlane]

Matt,

Don't you hate it when someone gives you a useless answer to a 
question you did not ask?  Well, I have never explored E-Prime's 
Suspend/Resume features, but I think you could run your design much 
better in Empirisoft MediaLab (possibly combined with their DirectRT) 
rather than E-Prime.  But maybe somebody else here has a real answer for you.
