I want to be able to run an applescript from another applescript, but have it return immediately.

I cannot use "osascript script.scpt &" because osascript does not permit "user interaction" and I want to be able to.

So, I'm looking for the equivalent of: osascript script.scpt & in "run script script.scpt"
