Frank, I don't know why this wouldn't work for you... I used a minor
variation of what you have and it worked for me. I created a card with three
buttons each with a different script to trap the message "hello".

I then coded the card script to say:

on doit
  repeat with c = 1 to the number of controls of this card
    send "hello" to control c of this card
  end repeat
end doit

and then typed "doit" in the message box, and all three buttons responded
appropriately.

Perhaps there's something else getting in the way?
