What is the benefit of parsing an event rather than handling them directly?
You could, for example, have a frontScript with:

on openStack
   -- do this
  pass openStack
end openStack

on mouseUp
  -- do this
  pass mouseUp
end mouseUp

...etc.


PS: What's gone wrong with the MC list server to cause the reply-to address
for RCS' messages to be:

 "RCS , Discussions on Metacard"
<rcs at rcsprogramming.commetacard@lists.runrev.com>

That's an invalid address, requiring hand-editing.  Odd.
Who's the list mom for this list?
