(Michael Sherer) is having trouble with this script after running it 
multiple times:
> on mouseup
>    Picture "MyPict",file
>    wait 5 seconds
>    hide window "MyPict"
> end mouseup

You should use "close window ...". Hiding a window leaves the window 
around, but makes it invisible. Therefore we get confused because there 
quickly becomes multiple windows with the same name. We always choose the 
first window that matches the name, visible or not...
