message box problem

[Jon]

I've not used the message box much before. I just tried to enter a 
phrase ("the owner of the target"), to see what its value was.  I 
probably am using the MB incorrectly, but in any event, I can only type 
one word before the keyboard stops working: if I try to type "the owner 
of..." I only see "the"; if I try to type "owner of...." I only see 
"owner"; if I try to type "the owner of..." I only see ""the".

I must be missing something.  Too bad there's no help button on the 
Message box.  I thought you could type any Rev statement in there and it 
would be evaluated.  I just looked up "message box" in the dictionary, 
and all it says is that it evaluates expressions.

:(
