Another approach, assuming your script is looping through a list of things
that all have to be processed: Convert the handler containing the repeat
loop into a handler that executes once for each thing in the list. It would
end with a statement that queues an execution of that same handler, like:
send <handlerName> to me in 20 milliseconds
This way, if the user presses a key while <handlerName> is running, the key
messages will be queued for handling at the next opportunity. That opp would
occur when the current run through <handlerName> is completed - and *before*
the next one begins.

on mouseup
repeat for each line in var1
keydown -- test the keys state
--...do what you need
end repeat
end mouseup
on keydown w
