[MC.RunCmd ID=ExplorerPanel.51002]

I use the following script to create a new text file in active explorer panel:
However, I have to press F2 manually to rename it.
MC.RunCmd ID=ExplorerPanel.51002 seems to execute before MC.CmdLineRun can complete!.
Is MC.CmdLineRun ASYNCHRONOUS?

Code Select Expand

@var $File = "New";
@var $Ext  = ".txt";
@var $Part = $File + $Ext;
@var $Full = GetSourcePath() + $File + $Ext;

@var $nStr;
@var $n = 1;

while( $n > 0 )
{

   // Break loop if target filename does not exist

   if( GetFileTime( $Full ) == 0 )
     {
       break;
     }

   // Otherwise increment filename and loop

   $nStr = numtostr($n);
   $Part = $File + " [" + $nStr + "]" + $Ext;
   $Full = GetSourcePath() + $Part;
   $n++;
}

MC.Explorer.Selection.UnselectAll;
MC.CmdLineRun CMD="cf {$Part}";

// MC.RunCmd ID=ExplorerPanel.51002

Well, when I tried the following:

Code Select Expand

MC.Explorer.CloseAll;
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser SIDE=LEFT  PATH="C:\";
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser SIDE=RIGHT PATH="D:\"

.. the new browsers appear and vanishes immediately. 
I tried inserting a sleep( 5000) but it does not help.

I use the following script to close all tabs in ( both panels ) and then open a couple of new explorers:

Code Select Expand

@var $n;
for( $n = 0; $n <= 20; $n++)
{
  MC.RunCmd ID=core.20002; // Ctrl+W
}
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser SIDE=LEFT  PATH="C:\";
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser SIDE=RIGHT PATH="D:\"

I feel uncomfortable with a limit of 20 tabs. Can anybody suggest a better way?
