I want to thank Rob for his tips; basically this appears to have been due to a system error or a syntax error in the parent scripts (i.e. at the stack or more likely card script). Some lines parsed properly in hypercard, not in revolution.
I thought it might have been memory leakage or some other arcane os problem. However I had already cold booted to test for this before writing the list. I'm fairly sure it must have been a syntax error due to an ommitted quotation mark in a string - the card script had lots of string variables. Anyway, the problem is solved: I would have written quicker to say "don't bother answering" but figured it was too late. Anyway I needed a nights rest to re-read the card script to check for any syntax errors. The only other possibility would have been "orphan code". when I have an old handler I've modified I sometimes keep the old code so: on mouseup newCode end mouseup oldcode moreoldcode the old code not being in a handler doesn't bother hypercard - though in metacard it sometimes generates error messages. I presume it does not execute at runtime since the oldcode is no longer in a handler. Anyway - thanks! ===== What I love about spam is realizing how profitable emotional insecurity can be for those who think they're somehow sexually inadequate. I get spam all the time offering to enlarge my breasts and lengthen my penis. And all I can ask is: which first? At least I know once I decide I will have a profitable future as a TV model...
