well, I mean the IDCMP messages. At various points my program can wait for input, and at any time its waiting for input you can receive resize/close/refresh messages etc if you subscribed to them correct?
I guess my problem is, if I print 20 lines of text, and want to print more, I ask the user to hit a key when its all read so it does not scroll off the screen, so while waiting to hit a key, the last thing I need is to be told I need to resize, because I will need to reflow all the text just gone, and what is to come. doing resizes/redraws at the top level is fine, but if I am in the middle of dealing with something that is interspersed with a single user input makes it more difficult.
