Dave, Jacque, please explain more... if one wants more 'threads' one needs separate scripts?

I kinda know this works but I need to define it...

so if one trys to do a blocking thing, say, in the bg script, then any handler in that script is halted?

but if one does a "send in x" a command to an object, say button or field or whatever from the same bg script, the script in the btn executes and/or blocks while the bg script continues?

What would be the best repository for such "little" scripts? Hidden buttons? Backscripts?

is there a way to pull a script from a custom prop and 'do' it (within scriptlimits of course) in a runtime? I couldn't get this to work.

Although "post" is described as "blocking" it only blocks the script it is called in. Other scripts can run at the same time.

Is this true of "put url" also? I want everything to stop in my script until it's done.

It's the same for all "blocking" calls. It will stop the script it's called in. That's why I favor the term "script blocking". But while that script blocks, other scripts may run, for example, by a user clicking a button.
