Hi.
I have an argument for an abstraction that looks like

[myabstraction foo/bar/baz]

Inside of my abstraction I'm calculating a float and I want to send a message like

[foo bar baz 0.23(

So that I can later do

[route foo]

and get "bar baz 0.23"

So far, I'm doing:

[symbol $1]
|
|
[s2l /]
|
|
[0.22( [l2s]
| |
| |
[pack f s]
|
|
[$2 $1(
| \
| \
[print] [route foo]
|
|
[print no_output]

Which successfully prints "foo bar baz 0.22" on the left print object. However, there is nothing printed by [print no_output].

Any ideas why? I'm thinking the conversion from symbol to list and back does something weird that is not seen by [print] ?

Any other suggestion on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot shawnb! The messages_for_changing_the_contents_of_a_message_box part is what I was missing
I ended up using [add( messages to a message box in conjunction with [dollarg] to achieve what I described.
