Depending on the function, you can sometimes do that from the multi-line 
message box. That one parses commands differently than the single line one.

I tried this function:

function putTime
  return the time
end putTime

In the multi-line msg I get an error, because the msg box doesn't parse 
"7:20 PM" properly. But if I change the function to return simply 
"hello" then it works.

So, sort of a workaround. Sometimes, maybe.
