```
pass <i>functionName</i>
pass <i>messageName</i>
```
<br>
The<code> pass </code>keyword ends execution of the current handler and sends the entire message that initiated execution of the handler to the next object in the message-passing order.<br>
<br>
(Ordinarily, once a message is handled, it does <i>not</i>  continue along the message- passing order.)<br>
<br>
In general, a stack should pass any system messages that it handles so that other stacks later in the message-passing order also get a chance to handle the message.<br>
<br>
For example, a<code> mouseWithin </code>handler in your Home stack won't ever run if you also have a<code> mouseWithin </code>handler without a<code> pass </code>statement in a stack before Home in the message-passing path.<br>
