I think what it missing is an interception of the error here. When you type "set the loc of btn x to anywhere" an error dialog comes up, but not so with "move......to anywhere". I have tried these and other commands from button scripts and they work fine. If, however, you try to do it from the message box, almost inevitably the stack stops to work properly and you have to exit Metacard/Rev by way of CTRL-ALT-DELETE (when you press the Return key when the writing cursor is inside the msg you may get to second line and the typed command will not be executed; you cannot then save or exit the stack by normal means).
