Hi,
i mean message boxes. i think there is the misunderstanding. you dont send $1 as a message, too. not as message nor creation argument. its an expanded string inside an object or when it leaves a messagebox. georg

hi,
can somebody explain why there is a "3rd rule of $-expansion: 'there is no $0 in message-boxes'". i stumble every now and then about it and it is IMHO not self-explanatory. it is not hard to implement and wouldn't make problems with existing patches - because $0 is never used in messages. and would make things easier not only for beginners.
please explain what "$0 in messages" would mean to you. (note that i say "message" not "message-box" here).
if a message is just a context-free .. message, then it cannot have a notion of $0. a message-box is just a way to write down a message.

just my 2 cents.
