Asynchronous upload via post?

[Stephen Barncard]

Dave, Jacque, please explain more... if one wants more 'threads' one 
needs separate scripts?

I kinda know this works but I need to define it...

so if one trys to do a blocking thing, say, in the bg script, then 
any handler in that script is halted?

but if one does a "send in x"  a command to an object, say button or 
field or whatever from the same bg script, the script in the btn 
executes and/or blocks while the bg script continues?

What would be the best repository for such "little" scripts? Hidden 
buttons? Backscripts?

is there a way to pull a script from a custom prop and 'do' it 
(within scriptlimits of course) in a runtime? I couldn't get this to 
work.
