Can Standalones Do "do"?

[Rob Cozens]

Morning all.

I'm working away polishing up SDB for the LA Run Rev Dev meeting on Wednesday.

Lately I've got a nagging feeling that part of my effort is for naught:

SDB Data Dictionary includes a field where the developer can type a 
validation handler to applied to the field contents when the field is 
closed.  The idea was something like this:

on closeField
   global passedData
   put me into passedData
   do (field "Validation")
   if the result is not empty then -- take error return
   [snip]
end closeFields

Cool and powerful stuff; but if a standalone can't do "do", I'm 
wasting my time.

Am I wasting my time?  Is there another way to change handlers on-the-fly?
