What happened to my message box?

[stephen barncard]

one can make one's own 'message box' while trying to get a handle on this...

create a new stack
make a field to hold the command(s) - name it "command"
make a button named 'execute' with this script

on mouseup
    get field "command"
    do it
end mouseup

add a 'try' structure and error reporting and you have your own custom
message box. Often I prefer to use my own, which has code formatting and
coloring, and can execute Shell and Applescript commands too.  This method
doesn't seem to have the oddities of the 'real' message box.
