11286 - messagebox syntax for invoking functions is broken

Oh yay! Double yay! It now works both with and without "put". It was
making me crazy.


Could you give us an example, please?

Sure. There were two problems. For a couple of releases you couldn't do this:

  put myFunction()

You had to write it without a "put":

  myFunction()

Then in 6.5.1 neither way would work, it just threw an error no matter how you tried to do it. Now both methods work.

I write a lot of quick, one-off handlers and functions that I call from the message box, and now they work again.


But; when I made a stack with 2 buttons with the following scripts:

btn1

on mouseUp
   put "Whacky-Baccy"
end mouseUp

btn2

on mouseUp
   "Whacky-Baccy"
end mouseUp

the second one DIDN'T, and the script editor gave me one of those bloody-nose things!

However:

"Whacky-Baccy"  in the Message Box WAS without 'put'

So, presumably this only affects the Message Box; which is NOT the end of the World as we know it.
