Problem with send command???

[Jim Ault]

Of course, for those who know and use customproperties, a custom property
set is the same thing as an array

----------- copy script lines and paste into the stack script ---------
on dotest
  
  put 42 into tMyArray["Vera"]
  put 67 into tMyArray["Chuck"]
  put "Dave" into tName
  put 123 into tValue
  
  set the custompropertyset of this stack to "tempStorArr"
  set the customproperties of this stack to tMyArray
  send "TestIt tName, tValue" to this stack
  put the customproperties of this stack into tMyArray  --update the array
  
  answer the tName of this stack  --show that it worked
  answer tMyArray[ tName]  --show that it worked

   --optional
  set the custompropertyset of this stack to "tempStorArr"  --just in case
  set the customproperties  of this stack to empty ---purge the properties
end dotest


On TestIt  pName, pInt
  set the pName of this stack to pInt
  --use the array values for any other purpose
  --and can be used in any other handlers called in the message path

  answer the pName of this stack
  --save this stack -- the array is now saved with the stack file
end TestIt

----------- end copy script lines
