Scott, when you execute the "do", it's getting the text of the button and passing that along instead of the long id that's coming into "routeTheCommand". To make it not evaluate it, call:

routeTheCommand "getTheSum","the long id of btn 1"  -- put quotes around the second param

The other way you could do it would be to insert "the long id of " before theArgs if you knew it was an object reference that was coming in:

command routeTheCommand
  put word 2 to -1 of the params into commandData
  put stripOuterQuotes(item 1 of commandData) into theCommand
  put stripOuterQuotes(item 2 to -1 of commandData) into theArgs
  put "the long id of " before theArgs
  do theCommand && theArgs
end routeTheCommand

Funky, but it works…

:D
