Isn't there a thing called FormatStringWithEmbeddedFunctions?
You have to put the function name in <>
Less than and greater than signs, and the returned value of the function
gets substituted for the function name.
If you want to run a script, preceed it with a dollar sign.
var
string s
Let s = "<$MyScript>"
Just going from memory on that. But, I think it can be done.

var sTemp
; put code in to obtain a value for sTemp
let sTemp = stringlower(sTemp)
if (StringContains(sTemp, "sayline()") then
performscript (sayline()
endif
Hard to know what you're really looking for, but perhaps that'll give
u somethin to think about in the wee hours.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
might even be the culprit
