Ale -
I'm on the road and can't send a careful answer until later. However, execute...
3 perform: #zork: with: 4
and look at the debugger state. The message is fairly nicely packaged up and will even proceed properly if you define zork: before proceeding. So I would spend a while looking at what the debugger does. It should ultimately answer your need.
