Messages to change contents of messages boxes:

Message boxes hold one or more message. Anytime the message box receives any message at all, the messages in the box are all sent to their destinations.

"set" to set contents (numbers and/or symbols)

Clicking on a message also sends it, so you can use messsage boxes for push buttins. For instance, click here while watching the printout window:

"set" with no arguments clears it

<--- message

"add" to add numbers and/or symbols, plus a terminating semicolon

<--- object (different border)

"add2" to add contents without the terminating semicolon

You can separate multiple messages by commas. Also, you can use "$1", "$2", etc. to make variable messages:

add a comma

add a semicolon

add a dollar-sign argument

add a dollar-sign-plus-symbol argument
