Bob.

I have no idea what you are facing with such a basic issue. To be sure, please, 
somewhere in the stack you are having the issue, make a button and a field and 
run this:

on mouseup

lock screen  —comment out for the first run

repeat 3

put random(999) into fld 1

wait 20

end repeat

end mouseup



Do you see the two scenarios above working normally? That is, with the lock 
screen disabled, you see three numbers in succession, and with it enabled, you 
only see the last one?
