Please suggest an easy way to deactivate a fields scripts

[Jim Bufalini]

Hi William,

There are probably a half dozen ways or more do this from putting two
different sets of scripts in custom properties or another place and toggling
by using *set the script of ... to....* on pressing a keystroke combination,
to several other ways. 

But, if I were doing it, and so that it was easier to remember what you did
a year from now, is put in a global or script local var which gets toggled
to true or false on pressing a keystroke combination or a control and then
at the beginning of any handler you wish to disable, make the first line *IF
<var> then exit <handlername>* Then a year from now, when your debugging, it
will be obvious if the var is true or false and why handlers are exiting.
;-)

Aloha from Hawaii
