msg as input

[erik hansen]

the archives show some discussion about using
functions in the msg and how the stack level
*may* affect this.

a bg btn or <enterkey> sends "findwords" to a
handler in the bg. this works perfectly in HC.

in a database for songs, using msg as input is
yielding bizarre results. once with "moon" the
visible text in the msg, a previous now
non-visible test entry of <10*10> was evaluated
and the search results yielded every card with a
"100" in it! usually i just get nothing from the
msg.

on findWords
  breakPoint
  lockup
  put msg into theMsg # nothing in theMsg
  ...
end findwords

the question is, can the msg work as an input
device or is it better to create something else?
