Yes, that looks right though I'm not quite clear on what 'Calling' Object
refers to. The basic idea is that if a control's behavior script calls a
handler and that handler is defined in both the control as well as the
control's behavior then the definition in the control will be triggered. The
behavior's definition of the handler is only triggered if the control passes
the message.
