It's me, the original author, correcting myself.
Hi Pat,
Thanks for your kind attempt to help.
No, those are not the circumstances. That's why it seemed
inexplicable. The circumstances you describe would make sense to me.
I might have found the source of the problem, though.
There was a handler in this bg left over from Hypercard:
On closefield
put me into me
pass closeField
end closefield
That should have been
on closeField
put target into target
pass closeField
end closeField
This handler remains a prime suspect, because I haven't seen the
problem since I commented it out. Does the corrected version of the
handler look more problematic?
After reading Dennis Brown's enlightening comment, I realize that the
improvement might be a coincidence. I doubt I was doing what Dennis
described, but maybe I was doing it unwittingly. As I recall, I never
had more than one script window open at a time. I'll pay more
attention, and see what develops. If the problem persists, Dennis has
provided a good clue.
Thanks to Dennis, Pat and Jon.
Regarding top-posting, I guess I'll take the lead of the previous
author on the thread. If he/she has top-posted, so will I. If he/she
has bottom-posted, I will too. I don't really care. Both practices
mixed in the same quoted thread would produce confusion, of course.
Some lists are intensely critical of top-posting, so I've learned to
be wary. Comp.sys.mac.sys, for example.
Have a nice day,
Tim
