How about this one:
display dialog "Hello!"
set x to ((current date) + 25)
repeat
if (current date) > x then exit repeat
end repeat
activate me
beep 3
display dialog "Hello Again!"
Save as application, launch, and see what happens: the script keeps
running for 25 seconds, during which time you could be doing other
things.
