wait with messages revisited.

[K]

Okay, some time ago everyone assisted me with understanding how "wait with messages" functions.  I am still a bit confused. 

In my testing I found the following.

Example code:

[Button A]
global evtA 

on mouseUp
  put "Waiting on event (A)" & cr into field edtStatus
  wait until evtA with messages
  put "Event (A) signaled" & cr into field edtStatus
end mouseUp

[Button B]

global evtB

on mouseUp
  put "Waiting on event (B)" & cr into field edtStatus
  wait until evtB with messages
  put "Event (B) signaled" & cr into field edtStatus
end mouseUp

[Button Clear]

global evtA
global evtB

on mouseUp
  put false into evtA
  put false into evtB
end mouseUp

[Button SignalA]

global evtA

on mouseUp 
  put true into evtA
end mouseUp

[Button SignalB]

global evtB

on mouseUp
  put true into evtB
end mouseUp



Test         
Click Clear     Output: Nothing 
Click A         Output: Waiting on event (A)
Click B         Output: Waiting on event (B)
Click SignalA   Output: Nothing
Click SignalB   Output: Waiting on event (A)
                Output: Waiting on event (B)

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