AW: what actually happens when sending a message out of a repeat loop?

Hi Richard, oh that's new for me. My loop looks like this: repeat 100 doSomething end repeat on doSomething something end I didn't knew that the calling handler waits for the execution of a message handler. I thought that it would only wait, if you use a function call, like Repe
