   bash plus bash or bash plus non-bash scripts??

   Yes. A script is basically a list of commands running in sequence one by one.   
      
   ls A*   
   ls B*   
      
   would list all files with A* and then all files with B*.   
      
   A command is basically an executable programm or another script.   
      
   Many shells have internal commands for workflow control like loops and breaks.   
      
    RS> If not is there a way to make it wait to move   
    RS> forward until the other one completes?   
      
   Yes. On many conditions.   
      
   man bash   
   man test   
      
   should be your friend. Take your time and use the search function of man and   
   type /loop for example. Jump with n to the next hit. Or press h for the help   
   file.   
      
   Regards
