Jim, this might be a Eudora problem - I've had this annoying situation with Eudora windows that were supposed to be in the background rudely popping up into another app I was working in... (OSX)...

It's so bad I have to quit Eudora completely sometimes...

obviously anti any user interface guidelines I've heard of...no other app has done this..

I had a button with the following handler.:

on mouseEnter
 beep
end mouseEnter

Sure enough, it beeped every time the mouse entered.

But I left RR to respond to an incoming email. I noticed while in Eudora that I was getting occasional beeps, every time the mouse entered a certain area. I finally tracked it down to the Run Rev button *underneath* Eudora. When the mouse *in Eudora* was over the button hidden *in Run Rev*, Run Rev was still at work reading messages and registering beeps.

Actually it happened regardless of the program. This is spooky. I guess I knew that other programs were always at work, out of sight and out of mind; else how would I have known that a fresh email had arrived. I had also run into this fact earlier when I was getting inconsistent results from a "wait 0" command.

But it certainly came as a surprise that Run Rev is polling the mouse while I am preoccupied elsewhere.

Oddly enough, this beeping button does not respond to the MouseEnter (or mousewithin) when it is covered by another button within Run Rev.

Live and learn; live and blunder into things.

Jim
