You are setting the event mask to mask mouse-up events.  The reason that "it
works on a Mac II" is probably because you ran it under Multifinder on the II,
and Multifinder resets the event mask when your program ends.
Put this at the end of your program to fix the problem:
SetEventMask(everyEvent-MouseUpMask)
or better yet, don't set the mask on entry.
