Stopping a script

[J. Landman Gay]

All handler names are single words. Send and call expect that, as they 
should, and will see the statement as requesting a handler named "end" with 
a parameter "mouseUp" . There is no handler named "end", nor can there be, 
since "end" is a designated terminator - - bodybuilders aside.

What would a text to speech app do if you asked it to read a sentence 
comprised of three spaces and a period?
