Detecting paused script

Is there a way to detect a paused script? Or prevent a script from being run based on whether another script is paused?

I inherited a solution that has about 15 scripts in the Scriptmaker drop down. There are several scripts that pause for user entry. Sometimes when a user is paused, they will lose focus and run another script which often dumps them somewhere they don't expect/shouldn't be (usually in a find layout but in browse mode).

I'd like to stop this from happening with the least amount of effort. Ideas?

Thanks,

DJ

Create a global field.

Populate the global field at the start of each script after first checking to see if it is already populated.

If it is, issue a message to say that another script is already running and then exit the new script.

At the end of every script set the global to "".

I cannot guarantee this method as I haven't tried it but I cannot see why it shouldn't work
