Weirdness Passing Messages

Is it a context problem?

It might be worth trying to replace
put "MessageY" into me
with
put "MessageY" into <long name of control>

I've always thought that 'me' always referred to the control whose  
script it appears in, but that's an assumption, not  necessarily a  
fact...
