But unless I'm missing something, it won't help you circumvent the following: The userlevel is set to browse. The message box is hidden. The only way you can raise the userlevel, and thus gain any control over the stack, is to type the needed HyperTalk commands into the message box. But if the "Message" menu command (which includes Command-M) is trapped by a domenu handler, you can't get the message box. You are effectively locked out of making any changes to the stack.
