We'd need more info to help. I don't see anything wrong with the handler but we'd need to see the functions. What exactly fails? Do you see the dialog? Have you put answer statements in to see how far the handler gets before failing? You can also log to the Console if you don't want to use answ

Bob. I cannot speak to your particular issue, but I too have found instances where a stack in the IDE works fine, and its standalones do not. It is a little unnerving, as I cavalierly assume that magic just happens in that process, instead of standing in awe, it being a miracle that it does.
