Enter Data not allowing button click response

[Doug Easterbrook]

hi Andy.

those commands can go in a reversible block … which is handy if you find them in the $construct of the window.   because then they auto reverse when the window is closed.   If you in fact like those commands :)

The Stack is still alive and well - in dev mode I can set the Go Point and tell it to carry on, and it does - so I am curious as to what action is causing a known working window to all of a sudden become dumb at an Enter Data call ? I don’t know if it is maybe the buttons being made inactive or what (I have verified that the windows $keepclikcs is kTrue as is its $enterable property) but I’m a little stumped so just wondering if anyone has come across this sort of thing before and can recall what it may have been ?
