Paul, the specific nature of the saved state of the applet should not matter
as for the sending of events from FM's 'send event' script step: run-only,
normal application, stay-open either one.
Perhaps you're sending the wrong event? Or your applet doesn't have an
appropriate handler...?
Are you using an 'on run' and 'on open' or which?
