Some more catches :
the numtochar numbers to replace with empty in the scripttext:
  the 0 already mentioned  produces a compile error "Handler: bad 
command"
(in my testcase)
   8, 29 will compile but produces a "can't find handler" - error when 
run

Testmethod:

on mouseUp
   put "on mouseup" & cr & "beep" & cr & "end mouseup" into fld "test"
   put numtochar(0) before line 2 of fld "test1"   ### 0   8   29
end mouseUp

Copy and paste the result into the script of a button and try to compile
and/or run the script

HTH, until the next catch if there are
