"The Colonies" . . . err . . . Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the
Falklands, Gibraltar and St. Helena . . .
Or do you mean the erstwhile colonies? And how erstwhile do you mean?
The North American Colonies . . . um.
As LiveCode is made in a current English Colony (Scotland) but seems to
adhere to English usage according
to an erstwhile colony (USA), somewhere, somehow this argument doesn't
hold water at all.
Probably what is needed is a colonoscopy.

I understand that inside the Colonies, the punctuation goes inside the
quotation marks, and outside the Colonies, the punctuation goes outside the
quotation marks. Just because this thread is being read and replied to
from both inside and outside the Colonies does not give you the right to
put the punctuation in both places. You, Sir, are guilty of the worst
foible of all. You may not have it both ways.

Were would you use "box" as a synonym (if it were one)? Is it the same
as
"rectangle" or "ask/answer". End users often tell me, "a box popped up
on
my screen.", not a prompt, or a message. Next, they proceed to tell me
what it said.
ME: "You're telling me, there was a _talking box_ on your screen?".

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
