The run loop of your application</A>
</H2>
When you call <TT>NSApplicationMain ()</TT>, the GUI library ``runs''
your application. When the application is running, the GUI library
simply enters a loop waiting for events from the user (such as the
user clicking on a window, on a menu, or on the application icon). It
creates an autorelease pool at the beginning of each loop, and empties
it at the end; this means you don't have to worry about manually
creating and emptying autorelease pools in your gui application once
it is running.
<P>
Of course, if you run an application without having created any windows or
menus, the application will wait indefinitely since the user has no
means of communicating with it.
