How about the flexibility of having it both ways?

The send command is only queued for idle time if the "in <timeIncrement>"
form is used.

Any ambiguity can be quickly resolved with a simple test:

--
-- test 1:
--
on mouseUp
  answer "aaa"
  send "doB" to me
  answer "ccc"
end mouseUp

on doB
  answer "bbb"
end doB


--
-- test 2:
--
on mouseUp
  answer "aaa"
  send "doB" to me in 2 secs
  answer "ccc"
end mouseUp

on doB
  answer "bbb"
end doB
