Mark, Thanks!

Here’s the script I created based upon your example. This is a stack with one 
card and on the card is a field “counter”. I put “0” into the field to seed it.

When the stack file is opened, it launches LiveCode and does the preOpenStack 
and the send in seconds causes the stack to display. The field counter starts 
incrementing.

And to get it to stop, hold down the option key and processing halts.

Damn, wish I had known about this years ago. Thanks,
Kee


on preOpenStack
        choose browse tool
        send idleDoit to this stack in 1 second
end preOpenStack

on idleDoit
        put field "counter" + 1 into field “counter"
        if the optionKey is up then
                send idleDoit to this stack in 1 second
        end if
end idleDoit
