And that's the reason. TIDs apply only to the application running them. They
are not universal across all applications. If there were a way of running
two compiled scripts simultaneously from an application's script menu, THEN
you might be able to cause train wreck. But well-designed apps don't let
you do that. You can't select a second script in the menu while a first
script is still running, so how would you test? If I were in the mood, I
might have a go at running a script from an OE or Entourage script menu just
as a timed schedule which runs a script is just about to take off. But i can
pretty well guarantee that one will wait for the other to finish before
starting.
