I'm trying to debug an idle handler in a stay open script, but don't know
how to stop the idle handler from running to return a list variable
containing nested lists.
I've thought of commenting out the "on idle" and "end idle" commands and
running the script, but the error condition I'm getting doesn't occur until
subsequent idle loops, so I can't reproduce the condition.
On editing the script after it errors, I find it's my attempt to "copy
fileName to end of item j of item i of myNestedList" that is producing the
message "Can't copy fileName to end of {}." I suppose I've got a coercion
problem, but how do I return myNestedList to find out?
My kingdom for the answer!
