Yes to all the above with the exception that I'm not sure
send xyz to me in 0 milliseconds
gives any time for other messages to get through.
It seems to, at least with this test:
1 card, two buttons.
Script of btn "A":
on mouseUp
global g
put true into g
end mouseUp
Script of btn "B":
on mouseUp
global g
put empty into i
repeat forever
add 1 to i
if g is not empty then exit to top
wait 0 with messages
put i
end repeat
end mouseUp
Click on btn "B", enjoy the number incrementing in the Message Box for a
while, then click on btn "A" - btn "B"'s script stops.
I believe any use of "with messages" will queue messages to be handled
at first idle or the earliest timer expiration, whichever occurs first.
So with a timer set to a delay of zero, this still applies just with the
shortest possible delay.
