Anyone got a reason for this being Appropriate behavior?
dispatch "beep" to this cd -- no beep
send "beep" to this cd -- a beep
Interestingly, running this in the Message Box:
dispatch "beep" to this cd; put it
...yields "unhandled"
You get the same with any build-in command, e.g.:
dispatch "go next" to this cd; put it
Whether this is a weakness in the engine or the documentation is a
question of intention:
Is "dispatch" designed to handle only custom handlers? It appears to be,
and if that's what's intended it's working fine and all that's needed is
a note in the docs clarifying that.
But if the intention was that it could be used for built-in commands too
then there appears to be a bug in the engine.
