Running Processes in the background

[Glen Bojsza]

Hi Ralph,

 I tried an example outlined by you and I keep getting en error where  it
can't find the handler?


*on* mouseUp

   *put* 1 into x

   *set* the stimer of this stack to "false"

   *send* tTest to me in 1 minute                     **this is where the
first error occurs?

   *repeat* for 30 times

      *if* the stimer of this stack is true *then*

         *put* "reached goal" into fld counter

      *else*

         *put* x + 6 into x

         *put* x into fld counter

         *wait* for 1 second

         *end* *if*

      *end* *repeat*



*end* mouseUp


*on* tTest

 *put* "made it to tTest with x = " & x & cr

 *send* tTest to me in 1 minutes

*end* tTest
