Is it the same as scheduling a timer? If i could use that, what should i have specified in date? Current date? Current date+some time? what would be instead of that time?

I was thinking this is done by the framework, only because i was reading that NSAppleScript wasn't thread safe, and became so only lately. But as long as "we shouldn't care how is it built inside", i only assumed this thread safety had been provided in exchange of performance (when the apple events - this is how NSAppleScript allows the application to retrieve result value from applescript - are still received in the main thread, which suspends both threads or something). Well actially i get a general performance slowdown. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
