Issue L61015

Wrong messages for PUSH/TURN
Submitted by: Sean Barrett     Appeared in: Library 6/7 or before     Fixed in: Library 6/11
Problem

A small bug in the choice of library messages for PUSH and TURN which wasn't noticeable unless you overrode the messages to be different from PULL. Looks like a cut-and-paste bug.
