Thanks for the "activate" suggestion Ben. I'm testing it now.

I'm curious what I should expect to see the cursor do if I have an AS that
takes a while to execute that talks to NO external apps or OSAX - say it's
all self-contained. Will it be a constant spinning beach ball or will it
flicker too? Is it the switching of applications that causes it to jump
back and forth?

Thanks,

Matt
