Thanks all for the hints and tips. I was able to access the guilty scripts from the message bar using edit script of <control> Thanks Jaque!
As this is just for a personal utility, I’ve made the Browser widget (which is only used for login) act as a rough and ready ‘modal dialogue’... - Browser widget sized to cover all clickable elements on the card other than a “Cancel” button, with its visible set to false - “Login” button with script to set the visible of control “Browser” to true and then build and set its authorisation request URL and headers - Browser widget script with browserNavigateComplete to confirm arrival at the post-authentication callback URL and then set the access_token of the stack (for global access) and set the visible of control “Browser” to false Seems to work OK, so now I can concentrate on the web service data - and the reason why I started building the stack!
