Message-ID: <746taylorj@yvax.byu.edu> Date: 12 Aug 89 05:04:43 GMT Lines: 11 Greg Anderson suggests solving the problem by setting lockMessages to true. I'm afraid this will do no good. LockMessages (just like lock screen and lockRecent) is reset to false as soon as an idle message is sent. LockMessages does NOT prevent idle messages from being sent. The only place lockMessages does you any good is inside a script. As soon as the script stops executing, lockMessages is set back to false.
