Looks like you solved both your problems by using clickText and friends, but
if you still want to know how to keep the message box from popping up, read on...

set the loc of msg to -1000,-1000

If you do this, it would be prudent to save the original loc of the message box
first and then put it back when you're done.  Of course, this may not work a
few years from now when we have 2000x2000 pixel screens and the HyperCard
window is down in the corner.
