OK, sorry didn't realise you'd already read it. You're turning up some
interesting stuff. I guess my only comment is that I prefer to always
specify a target for dispatch, etc. Defaults are great but being specific
relieves my already overloaded brain of having to remember what they are!.

That is a great writeup on the subject, and seems to indicate, although
indirectly, that send and dispatch work the same as regards the context of the
called handler. I'm still not sure this is the case, but if so, then the
dictionary needs to be updated in this regard.

hmm, Not what I see
Send, dispatch, and call use the current object as the target if none is
specified. It would only be the
If I am not mistaken, sent or dispatched messages are always sent to the card
if another target is not specified, but of course must "pass through" the
frontscript first. I believe that would be the way to put it. That matters
because the send command changes the current context of the command a

Yes
A front script appears to be inserted into the message path before ( or
above ) any target. So it has a chance to handle any message that is sent
to any target.
I know this is common knowledge to the old timers here,
All of them, right?

Why would you want to do this? The only time I issue a dispatch
without a target is in a behavior script, and in that case the message
is delivered to the parent object,
As a follow up…
It appears from my testing that if one use dispatch with out a target in a
frontScript that the message travels through the frontScirpt and the drops
down the message path to Libraries or BackScripts. No regular Stacks or
cards or controls get the message. So custom messages just

You can trap anything in a frontScript by just adding a handler with
