Recursion limit

[J. Landman Gay]

If the mouseDown handler calls the mouseUp again, then it's a type of 
recursion. You can avoid that by sending the mouseDown after the mouseUp 
has ended :

if STOPP = 0 then
send "mouseDown"  to btn "GO2" in 0
end if

(I wonder why your scripts lose all the spaces when they pass through the 
list?)

Usually there's no fire. LC just shuts down suddenly and you lose all your 
work. After that, you set the computer on fire yourself. Ergo, the warning 
and intercept.
