Is the projector running on 2000? Ive run across situations where "halt"
doesn't exit the presentation on 2000 machines. Instead, you have to use
"quit". I usually write a simple script like so:
If the runMode contains "Author" then
halt
else
quit
end if
This is so that in authoring, it will just stop the presentation, and not
quit out of director.

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> how to "halt" when another program is opened?
Could it be the "Animate in Background" setting in your projector? I
think that it should be on for the script to continue after the
projector loses the focus.
