effective working screenRect

[Dan Friedman]

Geoff,

Thanks for the reply (and good to hear from you!)  I put this in:

repeat until the effective working screenRect <> tRect
  wait 1 tick
end repeat

If just stuck in the loop forever.

I'm curious what would happen if you did a repeat with a 1 tick delay and grabbed the text into an array. Would it be same, same, same, same, changed all the way, same new value, same new value? Or would it be same, same, a little different, a little more different, still more different, mostly different, nearly done, all done, all done, all done?
