I think this is a bug in the way the messagebox is implemented. The messagebox is a very tricky thing -- lots going on behind the curtain, re handling things like "this stack," the message path, etc. It appears that they made it easy to put things "after msg" but not "before msg." Others may know more about the details of this.

Hello again,

I apologize in advance. Maybe it's the meds. I created a list with three lines:

        put "One" & return & "Two" & return & "Three" into theList

I want to have the message box display

3
One
Two
Three


Why does

        put theList
        put the number of lines in theList & return before msg

put only 3 into the message box and not the list itself?

But

  put the number of lines in theList
  put return & theList after msg

works fine.

Can the message box not handle before?
