i am trying to insure that all objects are deselected before interpreting a keystroke.

i tried moving the cursor with ;max pupdate x y

but that does not deselect the current object

One way, as you may find in the forum, is to use a script that creates 

Search the forum with "deselect", or jump here:

One way, as you may find in the forum, is to use a script that creates  
a new object, select it and deletes it.

I think what you're really asking for is a '; max deselectall'  
message. You're trying to interpret something from key and sometimes  
a number box is selected, right?

Programmatically clicking the mouse is a can of worms: you have no  
way of knowing that any particular coordinate is "free". Even if  
coordinates are specified in window-local space, there may be another  
window overlapping when someone else is running your patch. And  
zillions of other gotchas.

There is, of course, ice.key. Get keystrokes anywhere, anytime, it  
doesn't matter if Max is the frontmost app, if your window is  
frontmost or behind, or if a number box thinks it has focus. It's all  
in your control.

if you ever gonna send me a mouseclick, please always .zip 

from looking at the problem, the solution with the

creation of a new object seems to be an elegant solution,

at least i cant think of anything better either.

if you ever gonna send me a mouseclick, please always .zip 
it, as i do not have .sitx on OS 9.

creation of a new object seems to be an elegant solution,
