Thanks for the suggestions.

I haven't used try/catch in a ling time, but I'm not sure this will solve
the problem.  No error is caused by running the script: Rev chooses the
select tool and then wanders off somewhere without drawing the selection
marquis.  There's no script error generated.  Changing the handler to
keyDown has the same result.  Restarted Rev, isolated to a simple test
stack, still same result.

The script runs as expected from the message box and within MetaCard so it
seems to be an IDE thing.  [sigh] No hair left...
