Syntax

send message to object [(with|without) reply]

Object yields a variant able to respond to messages.

Description

The send statement sends a message directly to a particular object. Unlike the pass statement, send returns to the handler or script containing the send statement after the message has been intercepted.

Security

To send a message to the interpreter, OpenXION's security settings must allow the DO_AND_VALUE security key. If the required security key is denied, a script error will be triggered.
