    I found that certain commands cause the nesting problems. Commands like createPath, move and stretch don't nest, but commands like createRuler and createRect do. To solve the problem, I changed the EF (enter function) bindkeys for these commands to look like this (assuming 'k' is the bindkey for ruler and 'r' is the bindkey for rectangle:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "k EF" "if(hiGetCurrentCmd(hiGetCurrentWindow()) != \"Ruler\" then leHiCreateRuler() )")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "r EF" "if(hiGetCurrentCmd(hiGetCurrentWindow())==\"Rectangle\" mouseAddPt() leHiCreateRect())")

    I don't know if this will show up correctly since the word "Key" is surrounded by angle brackets.
