I have a script that when finished performing the necessary operations it

time, I get an Apple Event Timed out error. Is there any way for that
dialog to display indefinitely so that I don't get the timeout?

From a letter from 1999...

Actually, you can set the timeout for AppleEvents in AppleScript:

with timeout of 3600 seconds
-- do stuff
end timeout
