   if it is empty then exit mouseUp 
   

   --1. if it is not empty then extract the name of the audioClip file being imported and put that name into a temporary variable tAudiotImport
   
   --2. retrieve a list of wave files that have already been imported into the editable stack and put that list into a temporary variable tCurrentList
   
   --3. check to see if the new tAudtioImport is found in tCurrentList (if that audio has already been imported into the stack and remains there)
   
   --4. if so, prevent the importation of the audioClip being selected by the user from being imported into the stack again
   
   import audioClip from file it

on mouseUp
   
   repeat with x = 1 to (the number of audioclips of this stack)
      #put the long id of audioClip x of this stack & cr after tCtlRef -- if I want id numbers with filepath
      #put the short id of audioClip x of this stack & cr after tCtlRef -- if I want id numbers only
      put the name of audioClip x of this stack & cr after tCtlRef -- if I want the actual name of the file
   end repeat
   put tCtlRef into field "audioListField"

## the pathname is not in the variable IT
## User may have clicked CANCEL
if IT = empty then
  exit to top
end if
set itemdel to "/"
put item -1 of IT into tAudioClipName
## Now do your comparison here...
## and finally decide to: import audioClip from file it
## or EXIT to top! :-)
