Yep, That's Me!
How can I make an application run in the background or hide an app. under OS 9, is it possible?

Or maby, locking an app. so you cant quit with out a password?
 
Just code the app so it's an extension. Several items in the extensions folder are apps, and usually are not visible unless in use.

This is part of how pre-OS X works, an app may lock up the OS, requiring reboot. This has nothing to do with a password, unfortunately OS 9 and older is a little loose with memory control, compared to OS X. Just run a little low on memory, and the app will lock right up, along with the system.

Ahhh, this isn't what you are asking about!
There should be something in versiontracker. Do a search for kiosk software. There's probably other categories of software that do this, but I can't think right now.
 
To hide an app just click away from it, while you are in it, while also holding the option key. It will then "Hide" till you select it again. Works in OS 9 as well as X. Give it a whirl! Don't know how to lock a program though… :cool:
