Arrgh. Well it certainly pays to check your output... I wasn't clearing one
of the variables in the code I wrote outside the function to test it, hence
the false good results in the first email.
Here's the output once that was fixed. Hopefully I'm not overlooking
something else.

Another question that should be tested with a benchmarking procedure. However,
I doubt that even needing to update 50-100 fields would show much variation no

Sorry, in my previous post I did not consider nested parens (I was thinking
English text, not C code). The function below should return the offset of the
outermost closing paren, the match for the first opening paren.
function offsetPair a,b,str
-- returns offset(a,str) and loads in z
You have to account for the nesting of parens, something like:

I am trying to figure out the 'correct' use of dispatch:
I first set up a lot of details in an iOS app on launch. I load some text files

end mouseUp

I have implemented a modified error checking handler in the topmost stack in
a multi-stack application and the standard answer dialog is popping up
over the topmost stack instead of in the middle of the screen. To me this is

Are you sure you don't have a handler somewhere that is positioning the
dialog? Because the default behavior *is* to position the answer dialog
in the middle of the main display.
