While learning more about "send in" scripts, here's a general
suggestion, not for every situation where "send in" is used, but
something that can be useful:
Unlike the good old "idle" message, you have to make sure that your
custom handler doesn't fire and cause an error when the user has
moved to a new card and the script tries to do something or refer to
something that isn't there any more.
You can handle these with variables if needed, such as an action that
has a definite beginning and end, but for more general cases where it
needs to do something until leaving the card, I find it handy to
reference the name of the card:
on doThis
if the name of this card is "thiscard" then
...
send doThis to me in .5 sec
end if
end doThis
