Name: backScripts
Type: function
Syntax: the backScripts
Syntax: backScripts()
<return|Returns> a list of <object|objects> that have been inserted into

belongs to.

put the backScripts
if the long ID of me is not among the lines of the backScripts then beep
The <backScripts> function returns a list of the long ID property of all
objects that have been inserted into the back, one ID per line.
Description:
Use the <backScripts> function to find out which scripts receive
<message|messages> and function calls after the current <object>, the 
<object|objects> that own the current <object>, and any stacks in 
the <stacksInUse>.
A <script> inserted into the back with the <insert script> command
receives <message|messages> after all objects in the <message path>, 
just before the application itself receives the <message>.
If more than one <object> is in the <backScripts>, their order in the
<message path> is the same as their order in the list. For example, the
first <object> in the <backScripts> receives <message|messages> before 
the second <object>. This order is the reverse of the order in which 
the objects were added with the <insert script> command.
