I can grab a reference to a handler:
set my_reference to my do_stuff
-- result: «handler do_stuff»
But is it possible to call that handler? This is a normal operation in most programming languages, including many scripting languages, but I’m uncertain how to go about it in Applescript.
My motive: I’d love to have a list of handlers I could call according to certain generic criteria.
TIA.
Answering my own question: It’s even easier than I thought!
Simply do:
set handler_reference to my do_stuff
handler_reference()
to invoke do_stuff!
Hi,
I like it when people do experimenting on there own and find out stuff! 
You could place your handlers in a list and reference them by index. For example:
set h_list to {a, b, c}
set h to item 2 of h_list
h()
--
on a()
say "a"
end a
--
on b()
say "b"
end b
--
on c()
say "c"
end c
gl,
Just to note that all the variables used have to be globals or properties, so you have to declare them as such if you use the method inside a handler.
