Call vs Send

[Dennis Brown]

I have two versions of a script.  The first uses an implicit send and  
works.  The second uses a call and does not work.  I was trying to  
simplify and expand my scripting abilities with call, but I must be  
missing something, because I can't see what is wrong with it.  I  
appreciate any insights.

Working script of field "PN1":

on mouseUp
   SaveMeTxt (token 1 to 5 of the long name of me)&quote --this form  
is used because the name is reused in different groups
end mouseUp

Script in the card:

global SetName,PN1

on SaveMeTxt myName --save the fld text
   do "set the data"&SetName&" of "&myName&" to "&myName --save fld  
contents
   do "put "&myName&" into "&the short name of myName --fill shadow  
global
end SaveMeTxt

-------------------------------------------
Nonworking script in field "PN1":

on mouseUp
   call SaveMeTxt
end mouseUp

Script in the card:

global SetName,PN1

on SaveMeTxt  --save the fld text
   do "set the data"&SetName&" of me to me" --save fld contents
   do "put me into "&the short name of me --fill shadow global
end SaveMeTxt
