Hi Chris,

I, too have noted this problem at times with some preOpenStack handlers 
unable to be processed.

Usually when this happens, I'll do something like:

send doMenuHistory to this stack in 30 milliseconds

on doMenuHistory
    set the menuHistory of btn "Level" to tLineNum
end do MenuHistory

I'm sure you thought of this, but just thougth I'd mention it anyway.
