|notes=If one object 'says' something to another object (e.g., a button that, when touched,
turns on a lamp), it is a good idea to use a very negative channel, e.g.,
<lsl>    llParcelSay(-654321, "light on");</lsl>
Negative channels are popular for script communications because the client is unable to chat directly on those channels ("/-xxxx message" won't chat "message" on channel "-xxxx", it will chat "/-xxxx message" on channel zero).

If {{#var:DEBUG_CHANNEL}} is used as '''channel''', the script will say '''msg''' to the Script Warning/Error window.
