Thanks for this.  It is better to keep things uniform if possible I agree.

Bob, while that does work, it's no longer the standard, & FS is
discouraging its use. If you're writing scripts for your own stuff, it
doesn't matter, of course, but if they're to be distributed, FS would
prefer that message constants be used instead. I really don't know why
they changed it, except, perhaps, that certain keystrokes could not be
adequately represented via the {} method.
