How does a command find out who called it?

[Ralph DiMola]

Ken,

Thank you for that little tidbit!!!!!! I was going crazy debugging and try
to figure out the message path in these cases. I wanted the message to fire
off after the handler finished. It bit me for sure. You just made my day!

THANK YOU AGAIN

If you just do a 'send "blah"' it happens right then before the rest of 
the handler. Whereas if you 'send "blah" in 0 seconds', it only runs 
once this handler is finished.  A minor detail, but a potential biteme.

My library is being called from a script, not from a send, so there's 
definitely plenty of breadcrumbs in the executionContext to find my way 
back.

Thanks guys!
