Byron,

What kind of error are you getting? If it's a "handler not found" 
error, it's usually because a syntax error somewhere in any handler 
prevented the entire script from compiling. Try making a trivial change 
to the script and Applying it again, then see if your handler call 
works.

Also make sure that the handler is located in a script that's in the 
message path of the calling object.
