on tt arg put arg end tt
on t set the aaa of me to "a" put 1 into a send "tt" && the aaa of me to me end t
Guess what the outcome of `send "t" to field "whatever" is...
Reading the man page for "send". It says (I couldn't manage to cut/paste from the dictionary. is that possible?) "If the message is more than one word, it must be enclosed in double quotes". That is clearly not true in the above case.
It also says "Any parameters are evaluted", giving <send "mouseup 1+1"> as example. That is less than the whole truth: based on this I would write <send "tt the aaa of me"> which of course is completely incorrect.
Anyway, solution:
send "tt" && quote & the aaa of me & quote
I guess the correct statement would be
"send expr to <whatever> :
the "expr" is an expression that yields a string of the form "command arg1,arg2,...". The "argn" expressions are evaluated in the corrent context, and the resulting command is sent to the whatever handler."
Ok, quiz time: what is the output of
on t arg1,arg2 put arg1 end t
on tt set the aa of me to 3,4 send "t" && the aa of me to me end tt
(I guess, for clarity, another clause is could be added in the above definition.)
