Thanks for the advice, Sarah.
So, I've changed by "≥"(greater than or equals) signs to >=.  is this 
good enough for that picky Windows?
There is no problem with using "=" signs, is there?
I tried what you suggested, and made a standalone with just a button 
leading to an "ask" box, and then it worked just fine on Windows.  So, 
it seems like my problem lies somewhere in my main handler which is 
causing that handler not to run at all.
Any ideas?  :)
Thanks again.
