Function output, a bug or a feature?

[Devin Asay]

Here's the recipe:

Create a new mainstack.
Create a field on the card.
Open the stack script and write a simple function handler. I used this 
one:

        function cube theNumber
           return theNumber^3
        end cube
Open the message box and call the new function:
	put cube(3) -- works perfectly, the result is displayed in the message 
box.

However, try putting the output of the function into the field:
	put cube(3) into fld 1 -- the output goes into the message box, not 
the field.

If you try this with a standard Transcript function:
        put sqrt(4) into fld 1 -- works as expected, with output to the field.
Has this always (not) worked like this? Have I just missed it all these 
years? I could swear I've done this successfully before.
