Interpreter change

[John M McIntosh]

This is a bit uclear, all this is doing is forcing a call to  
ioProcessEvents()

This assumes ioProcessEvents() is doing something interesting that  
you want it to do...
which is?

Hint on the mac all it does is check to see if the screen bits should  
be flush (every 20ms) , and snatch any pending UI events  (every 16ms).
Nothing else. So what else should it be doing?
