Thanks for the suggestion but no go.  Same problem:  the script will
intermittently show a compile error and when run, the select tool is
selected but no selection is made.

Right.  Running the script doesn't generate an error, it simply skips over
the "drag..." part of the script and finishes.

Here's the entire script:

on mouseUp
  choose select tool
  drag from topleft of img "wdmask" to bottomright of img "wdmask"
end mouseUp

I don't think so but apparently Rev does. :)
