Do you need the handler to know, or do you need to know for debugging

I need the handler to know the previous handler, as in:

if lingoPreviousHandler = "mouseUp" then -- or some such wording
 gTools.mRecordData("set") -- something clicked caused to go here.
else if lingoPreviousHandler = "sendSprite"
 gTools.mRecordData("get") -- something else happened, so go here.
end if
How about you pass a parameter:

on mouseUp me
DoSomeThing( "mouseUp" )
end
...and

sendSprite ( whatever, #foo )

--

on foo me
DoSomeThing( "sendSprite")
end
...with

on DoSomeThing sParam
  if sParam = "mouseUp" then -- or some such wording
   gTools.mRecordData("set") -- something clicked caused to go here.
    else if sParam = "sendSprite"
   gTools.mRecordData("get") -- something else happened, so go here.
  end if
end
