I don’t know what you mean by “multiple handlers … simultaneously”. Wouldn’t one entire loop be inside a wait of the other?
It seems like it would be easier to use send loops at the right level of processing.

I add the wait with messages command at the end of the loop to give the engine more time to update the GUI. Particularly in older versions of LiveCode, it makes a huge difference.

>> In a nice example from Mark S., I see the line below. I've never seen the "with messages" part on the end of a repeat statement. I tried it, and it compiles and runs without complaint. What does it do, allow messages at the end of each repeat? I don't see it in the dictionary. I'm running LC Community 6.6.1 .
