You probably want to restructure your handler, so that instead of a
repeat loop, it calls itself using send <message> in <time>
So something like:
local KOUNT
on startMyThing
put 1 into KOUNT
send "doMyThing" to me
end startMyThing
on doMyThing
add 1 to KOUNT
if KOUNT <= 1003 then send "doMyThing" to me in 18000 ticks
end doMyThing
You kick it off by calling startMyThing to initialize things and then it
keep calling itself (doMyThing) every 5 minutes until KOUNT exceed 1003.
All other messages - menu items, mouse clicks, etc. should be handled
normally.

Well . . . that works as far as menu commands from the revMenubar
stack go, but it still blocks
mouseClicks on the revTools stack and keyboard commands . . .

I have a stack that sits around as a Palette with a script in it that
repeats itself every 18000 ticks (that's 5 minutes to Thee and Me)
with
a code like this:
*put 1 into KOUNT**
**repeat until KOUNT = 1003*
/do various jolly things/
*add 1 to KOUNT**
**wait 18000 ticks**
**end repeat*
The "wait 18000 ticks" seems to be locking up the whole IDE so I
cannot
get on and do other things . . .
Would be grateful if anyone could suggest a way round this.
Richmond.
