In my experience, "wait until condition" doesn't steal cycles, at least on OS X. I tried this quick test with a graphic acting as the dialog: [ In a button ] global dlogActive on mouseUp show grc "dlog" put true into dlogActive wait until (dlogActive is false) with messages hide grc "dlog" end mouseUp [ In the graphic ] global dlogActive on mouseUp put false into dlogActive end mouseUp Looking at Activity Monitor, there doesn't appear to be any appreciable processor use during the wait. Seems to work. Hope this helps.
