24. A system for controlling a real-time telephone process having a plurality of states and generating a plurality of signals representing said states comprising: a memory unit for storing a program comprising program scripts written in a nonprocedural language with each of said scripts defining an operation to be performed by said real-time process in response to predefined system states and signals; a computer for controlling a first operation in said process by executing a first one of said scripts in response to a first signal from said process; said computer further responsive to the execution of said first one of said scripts for processing the next sequential signal thereby not communicating said first signal to a second one of said scripts and not executing of a second one of said program scripts; said computer further responsive to a second signal from said process for controlling a second operation in said process by executing said first one of said scripts; and said computer upon executing said first one of said scripts in response to said second signal for allowing the communication of said second signal to said second one of said scripts thereby enabling said second one of said scripts to respond to said second signal.
25. The system of claim 24 wherein said program further comprises a third one of said scripts and said computer responsive to execution of said third one of said scripts for deactivating further execution of said first one of said scripts; and said computer system further responsive to said first signal to execute said second one of said scripts for controlling a third operation in said process upon the deactivation of further execution of said first one of said scripts.
