In the below patch the getpenloc message looks to be delayed, if you look at max window you see that penloc messages arrive after write messages...

is it a bug or is it normal?

timing-bug

requesting the mouseposition from the dropfile object is simply kicked out of the

main thread, the left to right order order of your two messages stops beeing

valid when the penloc message arrives inside the GUI object.

the mouseposition is only tracked every 20 ms (or 50, i can never remember)

and so it would be asked too much to wait for it.

to get back to the desired order just store "write $1"in a buffer (for example

[zl reg] or [list x x]) and fetch it there when the mouse location later is beeing

of course with "write A, write Z, write E" you will run into trouble.

you´d have to build a shift register to be able to store and fetch those safely.

but i beleive that your application approach will allow you to store multiple

keyboard inputs in another form than as consecutive messages.
