There's a much easier way to get Filemaker to wait until it's done with a do script command. Simply tell Filemaker to activate after the do script line:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
do script "myFMProScript" -- perform FM Pro script which takes some time to complete
activate -- wait for the script to finish before executing commands below
end tell

tell application "Finder"
activate
display dialog "done."
end tell


This works for me with Mac OS 9.0.4 and 9.1.
