Hi Jean Louis,

did you solve your problem? Did you find a way to replace the blocking
code by something else?

I stumbled on exactly the same problem some months ago, and it drove
me nuts:

My conclusion was that Org is much harder to learn than I thought.
It's easy to learn if:

  1) you're a "user", or
  2) you know a lot about debugging Emacs, or
  3) the developers like your questions.

My holidays have just started, and I'm planning to work on (2).

Btw, at some point I gave up trying to find the functions that the
dispatcher calls, and I just defined this "function with a very short
name" that [c]ompiles the current .org file to HTML:

  (defun c () (interactive) (eek "C-c C-e h h"))
