Confusingly, just 'target' (no 'the') returns the value correctly; 'the value of the target' doesn't when there is a duplicate name.

One thing to note is that "target" and "the target" are two different things. This is a HyperCard construct and has been in xtalk languages since 1987, so changing it would probably break a lot of stacks. However, it can be confusing.


"The target" is a function that identifies the object that originated the message. "Target" refers to the text in the object (usually a field.)

Create a stack with a field, and put this into the card script:

 on keydown
  put the target && target
  pass keydown
 end keydown

The above needs refining for actual use, but should give you an idea of how it all works.
