hi david. although your logic is of course correct, my understanding and
actual experience here right now with another application, is that jim has
designed it to be smarter than that, at least, it ought to be, since this
was a feature I wanted where it would just pass through to the app in
whatever set it wasn't being utilized. and take itself up in the sets that
it was. so there must be logic incorporated within the hscAssignHotSpot
script to accomodate for this passThrough functionality, if it's definition
isn't the currently active set etc. but, I can't argue with Gianni's
experience, nor can I point to logic that definitely suggests it will do
this in that script. but, as I say, it does it here with at least one key
I've got defined, and it's meant to do it even when assigned to
hscAssignhotSpot in the app's jkm file.
