Sorry, but I just uncovered another bug. This one is more serious than the one I mentioned just hours ago. Given: An unlocked text field receives a closeField message only if the field has been modified (I still think this is wrong; it should always receive a closeField message, with an argument specifying whether the field was or wasn't modified). Anyways, this fails if the blinking insertion bar is still in the field and the user clicks on a button whose script does one of the following: 1) The script clicks the mouse somewhere else. 2) The script does a "go to" For example, if you modify a field and immediately click on the "Next" or "Prev" arrows or even the "Home" button, the field fails to get the closeField message. This makes the closeField message pretty useless and unreliable. Edward Moy Workstation Software Support Group University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 edmoy@violet.Berkeley.EDU ucbvax!violet!edmoy
