Hi Bernie,
How're ya doin' mate? Nice to hear from you.

You know, I was having exactly the same problem myself today and, after a
few hours of head scratching, I came up with a solution just after your
message was posted

Create a boolean global, gCursEvent, and amend your code to:

wNum = DIALOG(_cursEvent)
btnID = DIALOG(_cursOver)

SELECT wndNum
  CASE _nonDetectWnd               '<< Add
    gCursEvent = _false            '<< Add

  CASE _ToolsWnd

    LONG IF gCursEvent = _zTrue    '<< Add

    SELECT btnID
      CASE _toolsInBtn
        EDIT$(_btnFld) = "Insert"
      CASE _toolsAppBtn
        EDIT$(_btnFld) = "Append"
      '...
        '...
      CASE ELSE
        EDIT$(_btnFld) = ""
    END SELECT

    XELSE                          '<< Add
    gCursEvent = _zTrue            '<< Add
    END IF                         '<< Add

END SELECT


HTH

P.S. But seriously, although this appears to work, I'd be interested in
hearing of a better solution.
