Nothing to do with a message. I was testing the value of a function. Most other such things work: on mouseUp repeat until the mouseclick put the mouseH & "," & the mouseV end repeat end mouseUp This very nicely tracks the loc of the cursor. Always did. It is something about some functions. "wait with messages" has fixed things before, just not sure why. I guess it could be that some things take longer to process.
