+"""Utility routines depending on the finder,
+a combination of code by Jack Jansen and erik@letterror.com.
+
+Most events have been captured from
+Lasso Capture AE and than translated to python code.
+
+IMPORTANT
+Note that the processes() function returns different values
+depending on the OS version it is running on. On MacOS 9
+the Finder returns the process *names* which can then be
+used to find out more about them. On MacOS 8.6 and earlier
+the Finder returns a code which does not seem to work.
+So bottom line: the processes() stuff does not work on < MacOS9
+
+Mostly written by erik@letterror.com
