"Unused" = "not handled" when I'm not at the Mac to look. ;)

I just did a short test with "not handled" unchecked and I'm getting messages for things like 
resumeStack, openField, focusOut, etc. which have no supporting handlers in my scripts. I 
wonder if the messages you want to track are considered part of the (suppressed) IDE messages? 
Hard to say.
