Well the original problem was triggering a closeField in a field with the insertion point on OS X when clicking on a button. So in the case of menu buttons, you *don't* want it to select empty, but to leave the insertion point where it is. So for all buttons other than those in a menugroup, you'd execute a select empty (easier in a frontscript), but exclude menu buttons. Something like this frontscript: on mouseDown if (the short name of the owner of the target <> the menubar of the defaultStack) then select empty end if pass mouseDown end mouseDown Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
