Sending messages from server-side scripts

Your server scripts can send messages to their movies by using the `sendMessage()` command. The following server script sends a message back to the movie that calls the handler `testHandler`:

    on incomingMessage (me, movie, group, user, fullMsg)
    	-- if the #subject of the incoming message is "testHandler"
    	-- call that handler and pass it the fullMsg as an argument
    	case fullMsg.subject of
    		"testHandler":
    			me.testHandler(user, fullMsg)
    	end case
    end

    on testHandler me, user, fullMsg
    	-- send a message back to the user saying that the incoming
    	-- message was received
    	user.sendMessage(fullMsg.senderID, "Server response", \
    	"Your message was received")
    end

By specifying `user.sendMessage` you tell the server to send the message to the `user` object passed in with the original incoming message.
