Colin,

It's generally not a good idea to use the on idle message. Like
mouseStillDown, it doesn't do a decent job of sharing processor time
with other running applications-- and tends to max processor usage.
It's there mostly for backwards compatibility with HC. I sort of wish
they would just deprecate both of them, or bring them up to standard.

There are other good ways to do this using drag/drop.

best,
Chipp
