Constructing and calling a handler as "do"

[Randall Lee Reetz]

So, while i respect convention where it works (as it makes for better communication), where it doesnt work or isnt as powerful as another (alternitive) potential convention, i am forced to break ranks as fits funtionality.  Xtalk was not written for auto manipulation of code symbols (no built in versioning or dynamic inheritance (try to "put card n into button m", or more to the point "if the meaning of "if" in line next is conditional then...") so i have to go it alone.  My question wasnt about the concatination of strings but how to get the interpretor to build and issue a message from a custom property or two in the same line of text.

Maybe i wasn't clear, i write code that writes code.  So some of this code needs to be able to go through scripts and extract meaning so that it can tokenize and build new (hopefully rational) code to do other things.

I use delimeters so that i can auto deconstruct (this is much slower if one has to filter for cap letters).

Hi Randall,

I think it is common amongst old-time xTalk programmers to use  
capitals instead of underscores, although that means you need to  
press two keys anyways.

do myHandler -- now holds crdHandler

But that's not obligtory ;-)
