Sorry, the discussion was actually on the improve list but I 
erroneously posted the above to this one because the highlighting I 
have set for "common thread" in Mail is a bit close to that for 
"improve" messages. On that list, see the discussion between Dar and I 
on "events and pending messages" for our investigations and 
reproducible problems, and "pseudo-threading" for my optimistic feature 
request.
If your script above was structured as a despatcher for the sprite 
methods rather than the sprites reiterating themselves then that would 
work, and would be a Transcript implementation of the pseudo-threading 
I am discussing (I did one myself) although at that point I would like 
to discuss on the other list the effective difference between idle 
(deprecated) and a send-in metronome of the same frequency.

I will cross-post this.
