This is not entirely correct. Under TOS a desk accessory can mess up the
 fileselector if the screen is not locked first. But a lot of
applications doesn't do this.

You mean aesglobal[1], right? appl_init() returns the apid of the
application, -1 indicates an error.

Btw this value can not be trusted. N.AES can be configured to put any
value into this, and IIRC older versions of MagiC put a positive value
here (perhaps because it actually had a limit on the number of
concurrent applications).
