Thanks. As usual, I discovered this for myself in the dictionary about
4 minutes after I hit the "send" button. Another way that this list is
useful for learning -- all I need to do is post a question and then I
find that I already have the answer! Apparently I inadvertently
installed an LC-uselist external in my brain. Did you create that
utility too, Scott?

Hi Peter:
"the selObj" is short for "the selectedObject". It returns the long
id of
whatever object is selected. Like other LC functions, you must
either use
the form "the xyz" or "xyz()". In this case, both "the selObj" and
"selObj()" are the correct forms.
I found that the script works as expected when run from a control on
the
current card, but fails when run from the message box, so it seems
something
has broken in recent versions of the message box's script processing.

Houston, I think we have a problem.
This script works in LC (Rev) 4 OS X but generates an error in
4.5.3:
import snapshot from rect (rect of the selobj) of the selobj
Message execution error:
Error description: value: error executing expression
Hint: import snapshot from rect (rect of the selobj) of the selobj
I must be missing something: the the syntax "rect of the selobj"
seems
to be what you would use for a LC property. If selobj is a variable
then this would not be expected to work, and if it's a customprop
then
it should be "rect of the selobj of this stack" or some such. If on
the other hand selobj contains a long id then shouldn't you use "rect
of selobj" ? As it stands now, this is new syntax to me....
