[Gambas-user] 2 forms closing at the same time. Is it a bug?

Hi Benoît and others,
Thanks for the info.

It seems to me that when an application is set to start  using a Module 
instead of a form, it doesn't make sense to treat any from as "main".
On the other hand, I'm not sure how this would mix with the "persistent" 
property in the forms.. but well, in anycase, for now I'll just reorder 
the creation of my forms. (even if it's doing something like 
"FMain.Visible = FALSE"  right at the beginning of my application)

Regards,
Toni
