Reset Locals?

[Randy Hengst]

Scott

The script works as you expect on OSX 10.4.2 with Studio 2.7.2.

New stack, new button your script = 5 the first time and then 2.....

Copy the button and click the copy, 5 the first time and then 2.....

BTW, the answer box doesn't appear to be delayed in showing itself  
either.

take care,
