If your script isn't waiting for the completion of the Eudora task,
should I assume that you've got the tell block to Eudora bracketed by
"ignoring application responses...end ignoring"? If so, change that to
"with timeout of n seconds...end timeout" and give "n" a large enough
value that it won't timeout before Eudora is done with its task.
