Re: wait with messages revisited.
Did that to ensure the code would not be misunderstood. I have found that using that using "if gblA then " confused many newbie developers. I find quite easy to understand but I was attempting to code to the lowest denominator. -==-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=- Disclaimer: Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental.

Re: wait with messages revisited.
I posted the below some days ago. I have further questions and further infomation. In my testing of "wait for X seconds with message": Example code: global gblA global gblB [Button A] on mouseUp repeat forever put "Waiting A" & return after field "status" if gblA is true then return true wait for 1 seconds with messages end repeat put "A completed" & return after field "status" end mouseUp [Button SignalA] on mouseUp put "Signaled A" & return into field "status" put true into gblA end mouseUp [Button SignalB] on mouseUp put "Signaled B" & return into field "status" put true into gblB end mouseUp [Button B] on mouseUp repeat forever put "Waiting B" & return after field "status" if gblB is true then return true wait for 1 seconds with messages end repeat put "B Completed" & return after field "status" end mouseUp Event Output [Clicked A] Waiting A [Clicked B] Waiting B [Clicked SignalA] [Clicked SignalB] B completed A completed This is not the case on Win32 is different. How is this supposed to work? The documentation does not refer to any dependency for "wait with messages" or even "wait until x with messages".

wait with messages revisited.
Okay, some time ago everyone assisted me with understanding how "wait with messages" functions. I am still a bit confused. In my testing I found the following. Example code: [Button A] global evtA on mouseUp put "Waiting on event (A)" & cr into field edtStatus wait until evtA with messages put "Event (A) signaled" & cr into field edtStatus end mouseUp [Button B] global evtB on mouseUp put "Waiting on event (B)" & cr into field edtStatus wait until evtB with messages put "Event (B) signaled" & cr into field edtStatus end mouseUp [Button Clear] global evtA global evtB on mouseUp put false into evtA put false into evtB end mouseUp [Button SignalA] global evtA on mouseUp put true into evtA end mouseUp [Button SignalB] global evtB on mouseUp put true into evtB end mouseUp Test Click Clear Output: Nothing Click A Output: Waiting on event (A) Click B Output: Waiting on event (B) Click SignalA Output: Nothing Click SignalB Output: Waiting on event (A) Output: Waiting on event (B) This means that each wait is dependent on the previous A cannot be signaled until B completes. Is this the intended result? NOTE: I am using Revolution 2.2.1 on OS X since 2.5 delete my objects without warning.
