When I reduce the script to while only, the while is working. Thanks for pointing that out. I also tried the set value, simple while test as given above. They work but not in my script. So something must interfere. I just wondered whether "before true condition, while not executing, after true" does...

I cannot get the following while to work, tried many variations. The basic one below should work, or am I missing something? When I run the code below in a 800 line long script I get the following results - First MDL displays TRUE, displaying the before while expression - 2nd MDL displays TRUE, disp...

Thanks, that certainly is a way to go. Would be nice though to have a scrolling option.

I use a memo field to log messages. Would like the order form old to new (at the bottom). When I refresh the memo with the latest log message, the scroll bars seem to stay at the top.
Is there any setting to make is auto scrolling when adding a new entry?

Tried to strip my script, but did not succeed to make a test case. The reduced script worked fine.

Thanks, didn't know that. In this case, I had to queue the emails, to send them later on. However, 'writing' them is something that I needed to do on various times during a day. That is probably easier to do with the help of Thunderbird. Anyway the timings may be of use for others. And next time I'l...

Thanks for the suggestion and fast replies. I have done some additional testing and found that the timing of entering key strokes seems to be critical in Thunderbird. I used the following values and that gives reliable results (2 days only). BTW there are indeed many dozens of system windows. // del...

I have used MS (now 10.1.20 on XP SP3) for many years. First time I get very strange results. When trying to activate a menu in Thunderbird, such as opening a new message window, by letting MS entering keystroke letters for File, New, Message, all kind of strange things happen: such as the following...
