Non-modal message and take down

[Jim Bufalini]

Yes Trevor, exactly, although I'd also like to see something to the effect
of:

-- ignore loose syntax

on msgDown forMe
  if (forMe is the short name of me) or (forMe is the line of me in ???)
then
    close stack (the short name of me)
  end if
end msgDown

This way you could close it without a keystroke. This looks like it's part
of a library. Is there a more complete version of this available?

Jim

Take a look at this thread and see if it does what you want.
