It's me, the OP. Apparently, no one knows the answer to my question.
So, I'll ask an easier one:
Hypothetically, we have a stack which includes a button.
the script of the button:
On mouseup
do this
do that
go to stack "schedule"
answer the short name of this stack
fooHandler
end mouseUp
The answer command confirms that we have arrived at stack "schedule"
on stack "schedule" there is a group, with a script:
on fooHandler
answer "the foo has been handled"
end fooHandler
Is the syntax correct?
Or, am I supposed to write:
Send "fooHandler" to stack "schedule"
or something of that nature?
Depending on the answer, I might have a followup question.
