Actually, what you need is for the stack to be something other than topLevel. This means you can change it to be a palette, modeless dialog, or modal dialog. The cantModify doesn't affect the pointer-versus-browse tool. (You can change the cantModify back and forth as often as you want, though.) Modeless is probably what you want - it behaves the most like a normal window. You can either set the style property to modeless, or (the preferred way) use the modeless command to display it as modeless. You can either use the command in a script, or if the stack is already open, use the contextual menu to switch back and forth. >>> I might want to change the text in the rev script edit field. >> >> Do you mean that you want to change one object's script via an event >> executed in another Object (eg a btn click ) > >I want to insert text while editing the script.

Well, it's not supported but I wouldn't say it's discouraged. Just remember to make good backups. ;-) I'm actually not completely sure how you'd go about this, because the script editor may have different names depending on the circumstances. (All script editor windows are clones of the Properties window, so it depends.) -- Jeanne A. E.
