AW: List fields question...

[Paul Dupuis]

Thank you. mouseRelease is perfect for what I need.

The specific app I am working in sends a crap load of messages - 
constantly - as part of it's functions. Using the message watcher is 
practically useless unless I took the time to filter out all the 
existing messages I am not looking for.

Thank you!
