flushEvents()

[Barry Levine]

Ted,

I ran Rev in the "Classic" environment (while booted in OSX) and found 
the same results. However, as this was not truly booted into OS9, the 
same issue may be rearing its head. I changed the handler to begin with 
the line "set the lockMessages to true" which seems to prevent any 
mouseClicks that occur during the handler (which may take up to 8 
seconds to complete due to various sounds starting and pictures 
appearing and disappearing with visual effects) from being recognized 
by any of the objects that contain mouseUp handlers.

If using the "lockMessages" property doesn't cause any other unforseen 
issues, I'll stick with that as it seems to have a more simple 
(HyperCard-like) syntax.

Thanks,
Barry
