You might look at either (1) breaking your long process into a series of smaller
handlers executed one after the other by "send <nextHandlerName> to me in 6
ticks" at the end of each one; or (2) put some "wait 6 ticks with messages"
statements at various places in your long handler.
I usually do (1) instead of (2) if I can. I believe either approach will allow
some interaction during the process - but it still may not give you what you want.

Hi gang...
I've created a hot-folder based app, that executes a few scripts when a file if
dropped into a specific folder.
But these scripts can take up to 4 minutes to end and during that period
LiveCode is locked.
I'm using a send command to watch the folder every few seconds, is a file is
found then it is processed, but I want to show some kind of progress on screen
to show the app is working.
I've tried firing off a second event, to show a counter, but that doesn't do
anything.
And of course clicking on the "Stop Processing" button doesn't work as well :-(
Any suggestions on how to show a progress, and how to make the "Stop" button to
work during the execution of an applescript?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Ton Kuypers
