Stephen,
So you're saying that with Rev, when the Mouse is Down, other
messages can still be sent/received "unless" a repeat loop of the
nature I suggested is invoked, so that it IS polling in the sense
that it interrupts the normal flow? I guess things have gotten more
complicated than I think they should. Of course, that's mostly
because I'm content to do one thing at a time. Guess you could say
I'm a stick in the mud! Thank for the observations, nonetheless.

Sorry Joe, polling is just plain bad practice and could interfere
with other messaging code. Rev gives plenty of ways to deal with
messages that one should never have to use idle.
You still have your hypercard hat on. Untie the chains!

Sarah,
By and large, I would not put this in the category of "polling";
since nothing can be done while the mouse is down anyway. That's
just the way it is. Now, if this repeat loop was being used in a
mouseup handler, then it would be "polling" because all sorts of
things can take place once the mouse button is released. So, I
wouldn't feel badly about using this. Even fairly slow machines
are going to react in exactly the same manner. They're just
waiting for the user to make up her mind. (smile)
