Ken,

I confess I didn't follow what you are saying here. Why would one 
need to set the stop condition first?

Without the line:

  RevSetSpeechVoice "Bruce",

  the mouseUP handler works as expected. It would appear that that 
line affects the conditional statement that follows. Why is that 
normal AFAIK behavior? And, of course, what does the acronym mean? 
:-)
