Thanks for those recommendations; will try them tomorrow as it is almost
my bedtime
over here in Bulgaria.

when I hit my right arrow key ONCE the object moves and then animates
ONCE.
HOWEVER, if I keep my finger on the right arrow key the movement
repeats, but the multiple
instances of the "send signal to object" scriptLine get "saved up" and
fire at the point I take my finger
off the arrow key;
The signals are added to a queue but don't get a chance to fire,
presumably because the arrowkey message is happening repeatedly.
Queued messages need some idle time before they'll execute.
This might work better if you add "without waiting" to the move
command, allowing the handler to continue immediately, and then call
the animation handler directly without using "send".
How can I tell when an end-user ('punter') has stopped pressing an
arrowKey?
Try rawKeyUp, but you may not need that if you change the move command.
