Is there a way, in Smile V2.6.9 under MacOS 10.4.2, to wait for the Console to catch up?
You should certainly update your Smile version. There are lots of improvment with the current version 3.0.6

I have a very-long-running program (hours, eventually) and I'd like to monitor the Console "log" command outputs. But the Console just shows the first line or two until the program finishes, then everything shows up at once.
You should put a
smilepause 0.01
after each quietmsg. The message will be written each time in the Console.

Postit is great for showing me what's going on right now, but I want to look back a few lines into a permanent Console log. The "log" function does exactly what I want, except for this annoying delay.


There must be something I can put into an inner loop that will let the log catch up.

Putting in a "display dialog giving up after 1" does exactly what I want. However, it has the annoying side effect that the program comes to a complete stop (and does not give up after one second) if Smile isn't frontmost. I want to do other things on my machine while this program is running, so responding to the alert is annoying.

I tried "delay 0.1" but that, amazingly, didn't let the log catch up. It did have the side benefit of letting my unrelated applications have more CPU time, so I'm leaving it in.

I have tried msg and Quietmsg, but these seem to have the same waiting philosophy as log.

I tried smilepause, but I could not figure out the syntax. I kept getting errors at compile time and execute time.
With the version 3 series,
you type
smilepause
and then after selecting that word command E
This will give you the syntax of this verb. This works for all commands and it is VERY useful.

C'mon, there's gotta be something.
