I've tried using app.project.renderQueue.render() to start a render, which works great to start a render.
But appearently when that's called, it starts the render and locks the UI, so I'm unable to hit pause, stop in the render queue. thoguht perhaps maybe having buttons send RenderQueue.pauseRendering() and RenderQueue.stopRendering() would work, but no luck, as even the script UI is locked while rendering this way. any suggestions? wish there was a way for a script to simply hit the render button!

There is another method availabe that might help you:

app.project.renderQueue.renderAsync();

Thanks so much for the prompt reply!! That def did the trick on allowing me to hit the pause/stop buttons.
tho somehow that breaks another function that I have which monitors the rendering that was working fine when I used the old rq.render(); .. <sigh> Guess there's a reason app.project.renderQueue.renderAsync(); isn't mentioned in the After Effects Scripting Guide.
