I have asked this before.

I have two functions/handlers like the following code

function ThingOne
 repeat forever
  --Single step of long process
  --Write to edit control
  wait for 0 seconds with messages
 end repeat
end function 

function ThingTwo
 --SIngle step another long process
 --Write Edit 
 wait for 0 seconds with messages
end function 

At this point I click a button invoking ThinOne then the button invoking ThingTwo.  Only 1 of the functions seem to be running why?  Does wait with messages not allow currently executing handlers to continue until the currently handler exits?

Shouldn't this alternate? If not how do you make them alternate? I am aware of "send in time" but that is not the manner in which the specific problem should be solved.
