You may notice that I have asked about this topic before. Sorry to be dense
but I am still struggling; I think I am missing something fundamental in my
understanding of the htmlText property.

OK, here was the situation I originally had the problem with; I have added
one line to Chipp's script. How would you stop this?
on mouseUp
repeat 10 times
put hello cr after fld 1
answer hello
end repeat

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Of course my original problem was how to get out of a situation like this
when you inadvertently coded it. Changing the script to provide an escape
hatch is easily done after the fact but I'm afraid I don't usually plan my
bugs so carefully. What I was asking
Wow - didn't mean to ruin your day Xavier.
It's true that this is a problem and that, IMHO, RR tips, hints,
capabilities, and general support sometimes seems a little light for Windows
developers, but I suppose turn about is fair play. On the other hand, I was
able to find a way out that
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to terminate a runaway script from the
keyboard without killing the whole RR app? I seem to remember someone
mentioning a key combination for that but I can't find it in the
documentation. I am running on Windows.

This tells Rev to use its own built-in effects code, not that of QuickTime.

If you are talking about moving objects around as you build your GUI you can
use the arrow keys (at least I can on my Windows PC) to move a selected
object in a straight line up/down or sideways. If you hold down the shift

Once you helped me see that the mainstack is a property, I just changed it

Glen,
If your objects are of different colors then another thing you can try is
experimenting with the ink properties. For my demo application (probably
much simpler than yours) I was able to get the kind of effect I think you

Thanks for the help. As a beginner with RR, I need a little clarification.
1. When you say Rotate that. Do you mean with a built in command or with a
custom command that is re-calculating where the points should be?
2. Aren't there points already defined for the polygons vertices? Do I
