Identifying the itemOffset

[Gordon Tillman]

Hi Greg,

I just tried your script...

> and 10), depending on what I click on.  The problem is, when I click

It worked fine for me.  I'm wondering if it is data dependent?  Try 
adding this line right before the line starting with "put":

set the wholeMatches to true

See if that helps.
