I am using applescript as a timer in an Xcode created interface. I have a master clock timer that counts down from 28:30. Then I have 4 individual timers that I want to trigger at will with hot keys. It seems like Applescript will only do 1 thing at a time and will not trigger a second timer until the 1st one is done. Is there a way to do this.

I think you'll have to move to NSTimer or CFRunLoop timers to do this. Depending on the kind of granularity needed, you may have to look into some other technologies such as CoreAudio or QTKit. For instance, <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Timers/Articles/timerConcepts.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000806> states:

"Because of the various input sources a typical run loop manages, the effective resolution of the time interval for a timer is limited to on the order of 50-100 milliseconds."
