Thanks, when your note showed up, I had just finished hiding the Adobe .osax file (I finally did find a clue on Google) and discovered that the error msg had gone away.

But, to be sure I understand…  Is the reason I hadn't run into this problem earlier simply because Tk and wx need to check in with Apple Events so they can get things like mouse clicks, whereas more basic Python scripts don't?

That's terrible syntax, but maybe you can see what I'm asking.  I've been writing Python scripts for a year or so, and this is the first I've seen of this problem.

Thanks,
Bill
