Shouldn't the 'put the number of...' be inside your timer loop?

In my mind we are comparing...

     put the number of controls on card id 200593 of stack "revIcons" 
into y
     repeat with x=1 to y
       add 1 to z
     end repeat

...with this:

     repeat with x=1 to the number of controls on card id 200593 of 
stack "revIcons"
       add 1 to z
     end repeat

Also, since the button is being redrawn, I put a 'wait .2 seconds' at 
the top of timing mouseUp handlers.  Maybe that is superstition.
