This should all work, if your original program was a pure unix program. The 
WaitNextEvent comments you can safely ignore unless your program has a Mac GUI 
(using WaitNextEvent) in which case you may have to be aware of the 
interaction between WaitNextEvent and select().

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "things go blank (literally)"? What is 
happening, and what had you expected to happen?
