Steve,

Yes, it is a long post so I might have misunderstood some part of it.

Although prontoscript can be added to a button via the actions tab (by pressing the prontoscript button), such scripts are completely separate from the actionlists that are the main thing in the actions tab.  As a consequence, when you do a scheduleActions, it invokes the button's actionlist but it does not invoke its prontoscript.  Hence your test scripts of OutputState=6 etc are never executed but if you replaced these with actionlists then they would be.
