Speculation: "wait for N seconds with messages" allows other handlers
to respond to messages but does not allow a handler to resume after a
wait.

Many of us have had to do the same test when we first tried to do several things at once with Revolution.


This is not a multi-"threading" situation in which execution can switch back and forth between handlers. Your test2 is started in the wait in test1 but does not return and thus test1 cannot continue; its wait does not complete.

I rarely use wait with messages and then only for a single big task I have trouble breaking up with 'send'.

In most cases, I use 'send'. See my Message Mechanics Primer at my web site on using that for "multi-tasking" types of situations. You can make your apps walk and chew gum at the same time.
