I'm not sure I understand. Are people saying that in some newer versions of LC 
the mouseEnter message is not sent to the control being entered but rather 
directly to the stack? If this is so, what happens to the target function? Does 
it still return the control the mouse is entering? I'm still using OSX 10.7.4 
(Lion) with LC 5.5.1, so if the target doesn't identify the control I'd have to 
rewrite hundreds of scripts to upgrade to a newer version.
