Button does not receive mouseUP after disabling then enabling button

[Mike Bonner]

Another way that might work. Is this safe, or are there cases where it will
restart the handler before "doSomething" completes?

on mouseUp
   disable me
   send "doSomething" to me -- should wait till "doSomething" finishes
   enable me
end mouseUp


command doSomething
   wait 3 seconds with messages -- waits till this completes even with
"messages"
end doSomething
