target(), mouseControl(), etc. when mouse button is down

[Martin Baxter]

Trevor,

Some variation of this script in your stack or card script might do what
you want. I find it works the same whether the mouse button is up or down.
I use a version of this as a development utility so I can get the name of
objects just by pointing at them, i.e. without recourse to the properties
palette. Hence the global to turn the behaviour on and off

on mouseenter
  global gdids
  if gdids is true then
    put the id of the target
  end if
end mouseenter
