Addendum: 
With 'insert script' you're not limited to stack
scripts, you can insert the script of _any_ control
into the message path that way. Very neat.

Suppose you have a field "Foobar" with script:
  on ellenFeiss
     beep 6
  end ellenFeiss

And you place it in the message path by
  insert script of fld "Foobar" into back

Whenever you type 'ellenFeiss' in the message box,
your computer will beep 6 times ; but don't worry, as
it's not Word, you won't lose your really good paper
;-)
