Send appleevent to livecode doesnt work ?

[Serge Brami]

The handler  on appleevent
			do anything
			end applevent

works fine BUT it is  NOT  activated  on the targeted Livecode app  by the send  to program command from  other livecode app (wich run on an another mac on the network), UNLESS i switch  on the target mac from livecode to another app and then come back . Then the handler begin to run . So ?
