request for script or stack

Great reply, Jeanne

Okay.

Would a find and replace window work a lot faster if it were written 
in machine-native code?

Thanks. Sarah mentioned that allowinterrupts is set to false in the 
Find and Replace stack. Or maybe I misunderstood her. I thought I 
might try to set it to true. But a command-period does work after all 
-- eventually.

Oh! Derr...

>(Were you trying to execute 'set the cantAbort to true'?)

No I wanted to set it to false, to see if command-period would work more often.

I still don't know whether a command-period should halt a script when 
the script is temporarily interrupted when an "answer" dialog box is 
on the screen, waiting for a reply. It doesn't work that way on my 
machine. It seems to me it would be handy if Rev did work that way. 
Maybe there's a good reason it is the way it is.

Cheers,
