Hi David: Did you try putting Sleep commands after the Rate statements like sleep 30 or sleep 50
I'm just guessing, but those sleep commands may give Window-eyes to respond to the rate commands. I have done this in my scripts and sometimes it had an effect but sometimes it didn't, I'm not sure why, but it might be worth a try. You can increase or decrease the number to whatever works.
