Commands Interpreted out of order

and then receives messages from it via "send". What is supposed
happen is:
1) text gets written to the 1st app's status bar
2) the 2nd app logs messages to the 1st app's text widget
3) text gets written to the 1st app's status bar again
If I put the status bar update commands in the same
procedure as the exec command for the 2nd app, I get a
pause, and then everything happens at once instead of
giving the feel of processing and message logging, which
is the goal:
...
update_status_bar "starting"
exec app2
update_ststus_bar "finished"
...
If I move the status bar update commands to the exec'd script,
everything happens sequentially and over time.
What is holding up the output to app1 when the script is
coded the 1st way?
