In MC/Rev, you can do something like this:

# in card script
local ListHilite,HiliteNumber,StackState
# "ListHilite" is a comma-delim. list of the items that get hilited
# "HiliteNumber" is the number of the list-item that was most recently hilited
# "StackState" contains a string which lets you control what's going on

Ohhhh, goodie! I'm such a RR newbie...I was going to suggest maybe some kind
of idle thing. This is the _key_ thing I was looking for in RR, but didn't
know what it was:
********************************************************************
if StackState = "idle" then send "CycleHilite" to me in 1 second
********************************************************************
Let me look this (StackState) up on the other machine (accessing the RR docs
in this old PB is painfully slow, sometimes causes crashes) tomorrow.

Umm...Ken, you won't find "StackState" in the docs. It is a local variable Cubist happened to declare to use to monitor status.

-----------
I see. I didn't know about StackState. WunnerfulThing that. Every one kept
telling me things that wouldn't work with a repeat loop,

No, we were telling you not to use a repeat loop at all....and don't use idle either. Unless you have taken in Dar's latest example, you haven't "got it" yet. I am trusting this latest flurry will help.

Thanks much,
