Standalone app as Frankensteinian Monster

I tried stripping things down to this script.  Then after that wouldn't work
I inserted a script to cancel pending messages, still no good.

That leaves, in my mind, the question of running externals.  Would having an
opend connection to an sQL database through the alt3SQL dll cause this hang?

I tried inserting another script which closed this connection but on second
thought didn't check for more than one connection.  I wonder how to do that?

Thank you Dar and Mark for your help so far however, Frankenstein's creation
(application) still lives.  No poblems in quitting out while in the
development environment.  By the way I am using Version 2.5.1 on Windows XP.
Currently there is no way I can upgrade to the current version so must make
this work in what I have.
