How do I send messages to an object in Swat?



Q. I need to have my app run the handler for MSG_META_TRANSPARENT_DETACH.
   However, I can't (or more likely shouldn't) send this from within the
   application, so I was wondering if there was any way for me to send it
   from Swat.

A. omfq MSG_META_TRANSPARENT_DETACH *MyApp

   The command "omfq" stands for ObjMessageForceQueue and calls
   ObjMessage with the flag MF_FORCE_QUEUE to force the message to be
   placed on the object's message queue. When control is returned to
   the emulator (i.e. you type "c" in Swat) the message will be
   processed.
