It turns out that what I was experiencing was a jen-you-wine 2.0 bug. If there
is a click on the card window between the time the script starts to execute
and the time when you try to switch out of HyperCard, you will have to click
on the menubar icon 10 times before it will get any of the messages and starts
switching.

I was selecting a file with the sf dialog at the beginning of the script, and
double-clicking seemed to be the cause of my problem. If I did the selection
by hitting  return I could switch out easily, but if I double-clicked, I had
to click ten times. 

And thanks to Kevin Calhoun for letting me know about the nature of this bug.
I don't know if I would have ever guessed the "click 10" business.
