Endless thanks to Kevin, Scott, and Andu for answering my question so
well. The examples were greatly appreciated! I had missed the point
that the "message" had to be a quoted message handler name (not some
text destined for the message box). I made a similar mistake when I
first tried to use the "send" syntax, and forgot to quote the message
handler I was sending. Sometimes the chameleon-like character of name
reference syntax in scripting languages throws me off, although I
usually do get it eventually ;-)
Regards,
David
