Yes I was doing all my usual work. Checking email, writing NPR reports in a Meditech session, etc. The script doesn't have to have focus, it is using a stream. If properly written scripts will share the Windows memory space just fine.
One of the keys is to use Pause at every field to check where you are on the screen and lots of stables anywhere you can expect a message. Also if you are using any loops put a wait at the end of the loop to give other apps some processor time. Error handling is also a must. I write all my scripts in .NET and the try,catch,finally error handling is awesome, much better than onerror,goto. If you are writing Meditech scripts and want multiple sessions, you don't have to connect to different segments. In Enter/Edit TermServers, PCs, Remote Hosts setup your Meditech PC with TELNET EZ as the model. Then in Enter/Edit Devices you can have several just use the same TELNET EZ PC name in the machine field and increment the port number by 1 for each. I use 4 but I think you can go as high as 10. Hope this helps. Please let me know if any of this is not clear.

Doesn't this cause the script to lose its focus? If not, how have you managed to do this?
