right Doug; it sometimes fails, and it looks completely consistent, then I'll take yours or the example from the manual, and they won't fail; so, as soon as work permits, I'll give this more time. I have a feeling it's timing in some way; that is, if the event handler takes more than a fraction of a second, it might fail; or if it doesn't speak it might fail (this latter one I did confirm for one of my own examples, where speaking made it work correctly, and silence did not).
as I say, as time permits I'll keep hammering away at it.
