I see that "command" is a synonym of "on" in LC script.
Is using "command" rather than "on" a purely style preference?
I see in the old LiveCode dictionary:
The command synonym, along with the ability to declare
private handlers was added in LiveCode 2.8.1
Why? Is this something to do with the message path?
Some people prefer to use "on" for handlers of built-in messages, and
"command" to designate custom-written commands:
on mouseUp
-- do some stuff when the mouse is clicked
end mouseUp
command myCommandHere
-- do my stuff
end myCommandHere
It's just a style preference - as far as I know, it has no effect on
how handlers run - but it can be convenient for differentiating
between the two types of handlers.
