Debugging Mousy Scripts

[Jerry Balzano]

Thanks for your replies on this, Dar & Richard.  Dar, could you say a 
little more about the "log" command here?  I'm not sure I fully 
understand it from your somewhat compressed description.  Are you, 
e.g., altering (or creating certain message handlers (e.g. newGroup, 
mouseEnter, etc) so they can "document" their occurrence?  Is this a 
kind of "fine-tuned" message watcher you're in essence writing?
