I use delay n where n is supposed to be an integer number of seconds, but 0.5 and even 0.1 seem to work.

It's in Scripting Additions.

Hi,

  My script is using a DO SHELL SCRIPT  action,
  which returns a result (via the Clipboard).

  It would not work, DISPLAY DIALOG result would
  not show the correct value, until I realised
  that my script would continue running, not
  waiting for the DO SHELL SCRIPT to finish.

  What I would like to know: What is the accepted
  way to wait in AppleScript, without a busy loop?

  greetings,
    Klaas Punt
