Jamie:

Thanks for the tip. Just tried that and it didn't work, because when
MacPerl resumes activities, the AppleScript stop running (because MacPerl
is not Multi-Threading?) and when MacPerl finishes, the AppleScript
continues :-\

Matthias Neeracher sent me a message and told me to use:

        with timeout of 300 seconds
        end

wrapping the AppleScript, but it didn't work.

Thanks again.
