wait with messages revisited.

[K]

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]   <No output>
[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 <time> with messages" or even "wait until x with messages".  I am confused!!!

>Click SignalA Output: Nothing
>Click SignalB Output: Waiting on event (A)

>This means that each wait is dependent on the previous A cannot be signaled >until B completes. Is this the intended result?
