The object with the behavior script is just a container. The script is
basically appended to the script of the object that has it's behavior set so me
should mean that object.

Yeah... the scriptObject is one of my favorites. I don't think we can have
multiple word functions so we need to camel case it.

Unfortunately behaviors have been in the engine for 5 years or so with me
meaning the object with the behavior rather than the object with the script.

If the behavior script is:
on mouseUp
put the short name of me & cr & the short name of this me
end mouseUp
The behavior script is contained in button B and set as behavior of button A
then the message box should show:
A
B
