What you’re trying is not going to work, because you’re using a Perspective Button to invoke a Vision method; `system.gui` will only work in Vision windows. The Perspective Equivalent would be `system.perspective.openPopup()`, where you pass the message as a parameter to the View you specify you are opening in the method call.
