Krister,
I have noticed this, too. It turns out that you can still call functions
directly from the message box, but the form you have to use has changed. Prior
to 6.x you would do this:
put myFunction("foo")
Now you don't have to (indeed you cannot) embed the function in a put statement:
myFunction("foo")
I only thought to try the 2nd variant because this is how HyperCard's message
box used to work. I'm not sure if the new behavior is a bug or a feature. :)
HTH,
