This depends on what you're doing in the second handler.  You might be able
to do something like this:

on Handler1
   send "doHandler2" to me in 0 millisecs -- TO START QUICKLY
   beep
end Handler1

on doHandler2
   doSomeStuffThatTakesALongTime
end doHandler2

...but you'll have to test to see if this works for you.  What you're trying
to do is threading, and while Revolution does not inherently provide any
means for threaded events, using "send in..." can sometimes accomplish
similar results.
