A simple send will cause the "sent message" to execute immediately. 
Using "send ... in <time>" will cause the running  handler to 
complete before the "sent message" executes.

(From an earlier thread on this topic)
In the following script, commenting in and out the "in 0 
milliseconds" produces different results.

on mouseUp
   send "myHandler" to me ##in 0 milliseconds
   put "HERE 1"
end mouseUp

on myHandler
   put "HERE 2"
end myHandler

Does the myMessage handler issue any "asynchronous" commands (such as 
load url)? This might make it appear as if they were running in 
parallel.
