Also, as pointed out previously on this list, anything which causes Rev to crash is and should be treated as a bug (the only possible exception would be a custom external which causes the crash, but you would likely know if you were using one, and none of the code you posted would seem to indicate the use of an external). This should be filed in Bugzilla, prefereably with a crash log, which can be obtained from the Console application in the Applications/Utilities folder under OS X.

I have a stack that I use to download entire sites, Card one is set to cantDelete... I download the Table of contents page to that card, then run a script that parse the page and downloads every page on that has an href in the Table of Contents page... then dump to my hard drive.. and viola... locally accessible tutorials.. When I go to download a different site... I intend to delete the previous one with this script:

on mouseup
Answer "You are about to delete all data except card 1! This is unrecoverable!" with "Cancel" or "Proceed"
if it is "Cancel" then exit mouseup
lock screen
put the number of cards of this stack into tLoops
go to card tLoops
repeat (tLoops-1) times
delete this card
end repeat
end mouseup


which consistently causes Rev to crash on Mac OSX

Any clues? looks like a bug to me as I've used this script before successfully for years in Supercard, Metacard and in earlier renditions of Rev.

a) comment out the lock screen to see what is going on

the go to card tLoops takes you to the last card. When you delete it, you end up on the next which is the first card of the stack. Then you delete it. And I think that is where your script and the button resides.

b) try changing the loop

  repeat while the number of cards of this stack > 1
   go to the last card
   delete this card
  end repeat

this should also work and be more efficient

  repeat while the number of cards of this stack > 1
   delete the last card of this stack
  end repeat

c) I would change the logic of the program to avoid this altogether

keep the cards to be deleted in a substack which is a clone of a template substack, so you simply delete that entire substack. This may allow you to actually retain and support multiple sets in parallel.
