Scott Raney has kindly explained the hang-up to me so I may as well impart it to the list: if a button has the keyboard focus and the space key is pressed then the button is activated (at least on Windows and Linux), so setting the type command with some text including a space will automatically set up a recursion. Inserting 'select the text of ..' avoids this. To simulate the loop manually, first use the tab key to give the button the keyboard focus and then hit the space key. Strange but unavoidable. (I've still no idea why it happens on the Mac as well, but I don't want to flog a dead horse any further!)
