hey all

first time poster here

ive enjoyed reading all your solutions

so maybe you could answer this for me

as a new user

is it true that calling an external script from the middle of a script

will cause no pause from the parent script?

ie

i have a script like this

line1

line2

run externalscript:childdb

line 4

line 5

so my question is

after it sets off the external script (which brings the child db to the front)

does the parent script still keep running in the background?

is the only way to get parent script to pause

by breaking the script up into to pieces

and then calling it from the child db?

thanks in advance

In effect that is not true, but we don't usually call it a pause... the parent script simply waits for the subscript to finish before it continues.
