It would wait the whole 10 seconds and then execute when the handler 
finished. I use "send in 0" sometimes when I want the calling handler 
out of the way before I start another process. For example, I used it 
when triggering a series of file downloads so that the mouseup that 
started the whole thing won't hang the interface while the downloads got 
set up.
