Message Box Functions broke in 6.1.3?

[Phil Jimmieson]

At some point in Rev's development you could no longer invoke functions from the message box using "put functionName" - instead you can just type the name of the function.

i.e. if you have a handler in one of your scripts:

function MakeFilename
..
..
end function

in the message box just type

MakeFilename()

and press return.

put MakeFilename() does not work.
