I'm not a purist, I'd put the handler in the big green button. Especially if it's short. There are no hard rules about this stuff.

I suppose I'll have to dodge flying fruit now.

It’s very late here, so a brief reply to a brief reply. I know about ‘the target’. Believe it or not I also know about behaviours and can use them. But if I have a Big Green Button in my UI, I want a handler which does something if and only if the Big Green Button is clicked on. Obviously in my SOS I can have some ‘universal’ code that says something like

if the target is “bigGreenButton” then
 do something related only to this particular object
 …

But isn’t that just making the whole thing more complicated than it need be?

Maybe I will understand this clearly in the morning - who knows?

But if there’s no code in the UI stack, how do the handlers in the SOS know what object has invoked them?
