Good trick! I didn't know you could do that either.
I wondered if the function was called just once, or on every repeat. Your
exapmle wouldn't tell, because the function would return the same stuff every
time.
So I tested it. The answer is that the function is called only once. Good!
global gCount
on mouseUp
global gCount
put 0 into gCount
repeat for each line L in mylines()
put L & cr after msg
end repeat
put gCount after msg -- how many times mulines() was called
end mouseUp"
function mylines
global gCount
add 1 to gCount
return "1" & cr & "2" & cr & "3" & cr
end mylines
