This is looking pretty good, but...

You don't need the above line and the 'with message' at the same time.

You can try taking off the 'with message' and see if the above line 
reports anything.

put "callback" & LF after msg

Do you get this printed out at all?  If so, try upping the delay.

The entries in the message box from the callbacks will come after the 
ones in the mouseUp handler.
