Lingo was heavily based (or extremely coincidentally like) HyperTalk.
With HyperTalk you have to say end handlername, and so Lingo takes
care of that for compatibility, or perhaps good coding reasons.
There's no good logical reason for it though, because the next on
something will help show where the previous handler ends, and so
Lingo not only doesn't require the handler name to be there, you
don't even need the word 'end' either. This would work as well as the
above two:
on startmovie
something
on anotherhandler
somethingelse
A lot of people seemed to write that way in Director 3 and 4, but I
think the consensus these days is to say 'end' but not say the
handler name.
