Re: How does a command find out who called it?

It may be that dispatch works the same as send concerning the context, and the dictionary simply doesn't say so. I presumed that because the distinction was present for send and absent for dispatch that there was a real difference. I might be mistaken. Call explicitly says that the context remai

Re: How does a command find out who called it?

Dispatch does not have an "in time" argument. Only send does. The other difference is that send temporarily changes the defaultStack to the one containing the called handler. Any references to "this card" or "this stack" will reference the target stack, not the stack the handler was called from.

Re: How does a command find out who called it?

The way I implement such callbacks is by using a script local variable. In my script local variable, I have a handler that registers a callback. This handler will keep track of the target that registered the callback. When I need to send a callback later, I pick the original target from that variab

In this context it would not matter, but in another context, where you wanted the send command executed after all current scripts terminate, that would be the way to do it. Even if you said, "in 1 second", if the current running script took 3 seconds to terminate, the send command would execute
