|Anyone know what sort of scripts have trouble switching under MultiFinder
|and possibly a work-around for this sort of problem?

The "wait" command (with a non-zero numeric argument -- representing
time in sixtieths of a second) always allows multi-finder switching.

In a tight loop in which you want to allow multi-finder switching, add
a "wait 1" command.

Certain other Hypertalk commands allow switching to happen, too, but I
don't have a list of them. Apparently, none of the ones in your loop
do.
