Can anyone confirm this possible bug ?

Interestingly, if you add

command trythis pVar
  put pVar after msg
end trythis

then your first attempt is successful. I don't know when this changed,
but it's now possible to call commands with arguments in parentheses.
I like it.

Glx2 normally will create hyperlinks for commands so you can go
directly to the code, but it doesn't create them (as of a few months
ago) for commands called as functions and vice versa. So at least you
get some clue that you haven't done something you intended.

But you're saying you don't get a runtime error with your code? I drop
into the debugger at that point.
