Hi:

    I have the following JS/ES code:

    function somefunc() {
        // next line does a lot of work
        MyNewAlert(cmsg) ;
        // I want to stop execution here *until*
        // my new alert function has finihed its work and returned

        // that is, do not execute the next function until everrything
        // is completed up to here

        someobj.focus() ;

        return ;
    }


    Hope someone can tell me what to do to suspend the flow of JS/ES 
execution until my new function is completed.

Thanks for some guidance on this.
