Now, in my 'thang' I have a series of buttons (one on each page - big 
surprise)

that contain scripts something like this:

on mouseUp
   copy fld "crapToBeCopied"
end mouseUp

so copying can be done by end-users without recourse toa physical copyKey

now how would : block that copying actions without having to disable 
every blasted button
but editing code?
