     I know.  I suspect, now having thought about it a bit more, that
Windows does not ever have anything significant happen with both
events.  Clicking on something can give it focus.  Big deal.  This
does not make a change.

     What we do not see -- correct me if you have an example -- of
where both click and doubleclick do something significant.  For
example, click executing the object and doubleclick opening it in
NotePad.  If this is so, then it is a bit of smoke and mirrors.

Sincerely,
