So, for posterity's sake here's the final.

Here's what I ended up with..Seems to work fine and I don't see any
increase in processor usage on XP.

Script of btn 1 (the "test" button)

on mouseUp
 answer getThing()
end mouseUp

function getThing
repeat forever
  wait 100 millisecs with messages
  if there is a file "C:/test.txt" then
    put URL ("file:C:/test.txt") into tResult
    if tResult is empty then next repeat
    delete file "C:/test.txt"
    beep
    exit repeat
  end if
end repeat
 return tResult
end getThing

Script of btn 2 (the "stop now" button)

on mouseUp
 put "stop Now" into URL("file:C:/test.txt")
end mouseUp
