Regarding scripting errors that ultimately require a force-quit -- in 
fairly simple scripts, using ordinary, commonly-used commands, 
controls, operators, properties, and so on: Is this a frequent event, 
or uncommon? Are there lots of ways to do it, or just a few?

If it's common, and lots of ways to do it, it would be great if 
someone would compile a list of the most common routes to the Deadly 
Beachball, and how to avoid them.

If it's uncommon and hard to do... I must have some previously 
unknown talent for it.

It seems all better now.
