There is a good chance of succeeding if you hold down Enter continually 
to actuate the dialog OK while clicking rapidly on the toolbar Property 
Inspector icon. If the Inspector appears, you can use it to select your 
button, edit the script, add a breakpoint, "OK" and then stop the 
script. It's also possible to open the Message Box this way or (for 
slightly different code) turn off messages. Depending on the exact code 
and situation it may take a while to get back control but it's nice when 
it works! BTW I'm on Windows, real Windows that is. :) I think I've used 
this technique on Mac too but let me know if it works.

Best wishes,
