The learning curve is the burning curve

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi John,

The mouseUp handler triggers the very first
updateCLock. After that, updateCLock calls itself
repeatedly afterwards until you remove it from the
pendingMessages or RR quits (whichever comes first)

You can also manually fire the updateClock from the
message box, or from another script such as your
card's openCard handler.

The system doesn't know about the updateCLock event
itself, so it doesn't know it's supposed to call it.

Hope this cleared things up a bit,

Jan Schenkel.
