Passing Lists II

Indeed: try this...

on mouseUp
   ask "Enter text inluding a comma."
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   put it into theText
   answer "The text is"&&theText
   send "showText"&&theText to me in 20 milliseconds
end mouseUp

on showText theText
   answer "showText text is"&&theText
end showText

If I enter "I think, therefore I am.", showText says theText is "I 
think".  If I 'put "I think, therefore I am." into theText' instead 
of typing it in an ask dialog, the same error occurs.
