I don't know about the "idle" part, but yes, it isn't parallel. It's easy
enough to test... see if helloWorld ever happens:
on mouseUp
send "myInfiniteLoop" to me in 5 seconds
send "helloWorld" to me in 10 seconds
end
on myInfiniteLoop
put "About to hose LC..."
repeat forever
# do nothing
end
end
on helloWorld
answer "Hello, world!"
end
