IE_Wait not waiting

I thought that when this function was invoked it would wait for a "Done" result from IE. Is this not the case? When running my script it seems that it decided not to wait and just blew past a good 50 lines of script due to IE being busy submitting the previous form. This is talking to a printer, so it's not the fastest thing in the world. I know I can set a timer with Wait>x, but was hoping it would just auto wait.

It does.

But you may have a page which does lots of asynchronous calls, or loads lots of items and goes from busy to done many times in a row. In which case on IE_Wait will only catch the first one ...

When recording, it should catch all of those, right? Some wait periods do have several IE_Wait invocations, which align with what I see when it happens, but when the macro plays on its own, it skips 'em...guess I'll just try a timed wait.
