Ok, found it! I missed a line off my script when I posted it:

function DebugPutString theString
put theString & cr into field 1 of card 1 of me
select after field 1 of card 1 of me     <  
----------------------------------------------------------------
return empty
end DebugPutString

As far as I can tell, it's the select that is pushing to the front! I  
do this in order to scroll the display so I can see what is going on  
without having to scroll it manually. Is there another way to do this??

Thanks a lot
All the Best
