However, I wonder if there is a way to take a picture (opening the

not sure what they are doing.
Can anyone explain what
Thank you, Roger. Works like a charm!

Thanks Jacque.
I was hoping to present the user with vision of a cursor moving to the button
and then clicking on it.
I think now that I will manufacture my own cursor, using RR's line graphic

Perhaps a png would be better. That way you could show a Mac cursor to a Mac

That behavior is still there in 4.6.4. The workaround I remember is to put
a focus on nothing in the button script.
I seem to remember there was a discussion on this issue a while back that
