Pete,

   Thanks for the insight.  The issue with the focusObject seems to be fairly nuanced and perhaps based on execution speed and platform.  There is another message thread with the subject "Is this a bug or am I missing something?”, that seems to indicate that the focusedObject is changing value during the execution of a single line of script.  I will file a bug report if appropriate when that thread winds to a conclusion.

Thanks,
John
