I'm embarrassed to write about this. I've been playing with the code, reading docs, etc. for an hour:

With a Transcript window open, executing any of the following lines (from a Playground):

Transcript show: 1; ' '; 2; cr.

Transcript show: 'a'; cr; 'b'.

Transcript show: 1; cr; '2'.

fails, after which is shown a pink box with the text 'Message expected ->'.

I'm sure it's something simple. What am I missing? Thanks.

Sven has answered. I would offer the clarification that "cascaded" refers to message sends. You send successive messages to the same receiver. Those messages may or may not take arguments.
