I believe that Donald's Script Timer is indeed a stay-open applet itself. At
least it used to be, in an earlier incarnation. He has lots of extra
doo-dads, and there's no point reinventing the wheel. Except his script is
run-only, so I guess you have to if you want to pass on the method to
others.
The purpose of the exercise would not have been to reinvent the wheel
-- which was invented long before Script Timer or iDo -- and not to
set up in competition, but to demonstrate how to make good use of the
idle handler. It's all very well saying x or y shareware is the way
to do it but Simone was asking how to write scripts to do it, and
that's what this list is about so far as I'm concerned, though I see
from recent official postings it is becoming an esoteric medium for
the discussion of weirdom and somorror. :-)
