Thank you Croisened.
I made the change but may be in dense mode today. I don’t see any change in results.
I don’t thing the “began” never gets hit as usernameField.text never goes blank.
I assume it’s correct that in simulator the Event would not fire? I thought it used to in the old scheme but could be wrong.
This is my whole scene. Can you spot where I’m screwing up? This scene is called my main. main only does a bit of setup and the calls this page.

Hopefully this is my screwup. Function duplicated further down. Back to testing but
thought I better edit this post first.

print("in onusername")

Apologies for the long post but I’m desperate 
Edit: YIKES!
onusername function appears twice. The pitfalls of careless cut’n paste. [import]uid: 6547 topic_id: 24488 reply_id: 99119[/import]
