what I want to do is something like:
on alert any alert(string(any)) end
which of course doesn't work, because it creates an recursive circle ad infinitum.
An easy solution is:
on alert thestring,reallymeanit if voidp(reallymeanit) then alert "here's what you were trying to say:" && thestring,true else pass end if end
