How to Use ForceNewEntry with NewtApp (12/2/96)

Q: I have a newtApp-based application which does not use stationery. If I set the forceNewEntry slot to nil in my layout and open the application with a nil target, I can still see the entry view. How can I avoid this?

A: You will need to check for the existence of a target frame. If one does not exist then close the entry view.

You will not have this problem if you use stationery because the newtApp framework will not open the stationery if a target does not exist.
