I recall reading somewhere that they undid that change shortly after it was announced, because many people complained about it.

Personally, I preferred the new method, but I'm a vocal advocate against changes that break existing code, so when people complained, I kept my mouth shut.

Link to a thread?

I'd probably be OK with this if there wasn't a 16K limit on scripts. Since there is, I can't afford to create a new procedure everytime I want to call a messaged routine on myself.

My general arch is:

link_message() {
..

if (msg==proc1)

..


if (msg==proc2)

..

etc


}


having to generate a proc1() {} just to send a message to myself takes up too much memory unfortunately.
