private command gotcha

Clearly the complexity you're painfully aware of is nicely hidden from 
me by LC script, where I tend to think all things are most likely 
possible. It's good for bubble-dwellers like myself to occasionally be 
pulled back into reality. I guess. ;-)

Thanks -

I often have to write long complicated handler names for things simply because they will be in the message path and I want to avoid their conflict with other handlers… It’s a little hairy a proposition when it comes to behaviors as I’m not really sure what happens if you send to `this me`… you probably don’t get the script locals related to `me`… would need some testing I guess.
