Paul,

At first, I thought this was a Rev bug, but after a while I realised  
that the script was actually running. If you have some "wait"command  
in the script, a repeat loop "with messages" or any other non- 
blocking script, this is probably the reason for being unable to set  
the script.

Perhaps turning off messages in the Development menu will help. Of  
course, you can always copy the entire script, paste it in a text  
editor to make sure that the script was acually copied, revert the  
script, edit it again and replace the contents with the copied script  
once you have made sure that the script is no longer running.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
