I knew that was the expected behavior, and the
disadvantage of replacing if __name__ is __main__. 
with if 1: is that it does run when imported. Turning the run as main option on
or off produces the expected behavior on the mac.

Incidently, I am very impressed with the mac Python
port. It must have been pretty tricky moving everything to a no command prompt
system.
