I assume the same warning applies to: wait until (the optionKey is "down"|the mouse is "down"|etc.) Is that correct? Also, can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by "multiuser hell?" Is there something specific about a multi-user system that contraindicates these functions and messages such as mouseWithin and idle? Just looking to get edjumacated. I've found it to be a useful debugging tool to take an existing script and insert something like: put somethingUsefulToExamine wait until the optionKey is "down" Doing so allows me to quickly check a value deep in a repeat loop, something the debugger is less suited to because of its impact on script execution speed. But I've also found circumstances where, as you described, repeated polling the optionKey seemed to cause a problem. regards, Geoff _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
