Bonjour Bob, In some apps I am using the following script. It is an adaptation to drap and drop inside one field, of a script from Eric Chatonet he had written for drag and drop from one field to another. Besides the field, this script uses an extra field name "tempo" which allows to see what l

Thanks Mike - that's basically it. Though in fact, it's even stranger than you said. The dictionary says that if you set a constant in a script but outside any handler, then it can be used in any handler within the script; and that's exactly what it does do ... " end doit doit put "outside"
