Eh?  The Mac doesn't have a TaskMaster function - unless you use
something like MacApp, you have to do everything the hard way
(mouseDown event - call FindWindow, huge switch statement, call
FindControl, call TrackControl, implement support for most of the
standard control types in your own code, etc.)

That is, unless it was added recently and no-one told me.  :-)
