There are many ways around this, though. You can use sequential action groups with parallel actions within them. You can number your actions as I did above. You can use a very old tool (your brain) and technique (memory) to alert you that certain groups of actions must be completed before moving to the next step.

Huh... I thought that was a major part of what action groups are
for. To me, they don't seem like a kludge here, but perhaps I'm missing a more elegant solution. I suppose a flowchart might express it a bit more cleanly (without requiring the parallel items to be explicitly grouped and named). On the other hand, I can't think of a better way to implement combined parallel and sequential actions in a list or outline format. Any suggestions for the Omni gurus?
