So if I wrote something like
SayLine ()
ScheduleFunction (NextLine (), 3)
would the whole line be spoken before the NextLine be done?

| The schedule function has the advantages:
| 1. It allows jaws to go off and do something else while waiting.
| 2. It can be disabled i.e. there is a unscheduled function.
|
| The disadvantage is that you need a separate script, and you need to
consider what happens if focus changes. So for example watching for a focus
change away from your active window and then calling the unscheduled.
|
| The Communicator and Messenger scripts use the schedule function to check
the status line for "is typing a message" or "is writing a message" and then
produce ticking sounds and let you know that the other party is active.
