Some really dumb idle questions:
1. Do scripts with idle routines always begin with a run statement
ie:
on Run
idle
end Run

2. Can you pass parameters to idle handlers
ie:
set x to 15

on idle(x)
set y to (x + 20)
return y
end idle


3. Can an idle handle return any variable besides the time it should idle?

Thanks
xandra
