And with chained behaviors we can also have grandparent scripts, so this me's parent should be meemaw me.

I'm really starting to warm up to this new me-centric syntax.

that me - a behavior script that I don't have access to

recent me - a behavior I used to have

search me - do a find command on the object that owns this script

help me [if you can] - implement contextual help [if activated]

do re me - the new, engine-based replacement for Shakobox music playing.

stop me - Please!
