Try to use #alarm instead:

#alias grecall {:fol apollyon;group all;:shaitan:#alarm +1 {cast 'group recall'}}

Not sure why your version didn't work, but here's a slightly uglier version that did for me

#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all; :shaitan:#wait 500; :shaitan:cast 'group recall'}

thank you both, i tried bothand decided to go with doom's cause thats what i ended up doing eventually, is there a way where you could do multiple commands in another window without looking into that window i thought that:
:Char2:{action1;action2;action3;etc}
would work, but its doesnt for me, i use 6.16
or is it just a matter or typing...
thanks again

Based on the examples in "Introduction to Multiplaying", it would be:
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all; shaitan:{#wait 500; cast 'group recall'};::}

Of course, if this #ALIAS is in the Apollyon window, you could also use:
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all; shaitan:#wait 500; cast 'group recall';apollyon:}

i tried it your way LB but every time i do that, it switches to shaitans window, i wanna do all this from the window of apollyon

#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all; :shaitan:{#wait 500; cast 'group recall'}}

doesnt work cause when it gets to that last part it does nothing and when i look in shaitans screen it shows that he tried to do {#wait 500; cast 'group recall'} with the brackets there, confusing the mud.

is there a way to stack commands on the other window without changing over to the other window cause now i do
:shaitan:action1;:shaitan:action2;:shaitan:etc
and i would rather do
:shaitan:{action1;action2;etc.}
but the { } shows up
i think i am hopeless

It's not my way, it's Zugg's way. However there are many ways of doing what you want.

Make an alias in the shaitan window with the #WAIT command, then just call the alias
:shaitan:#AL grecall {#WAIT 500;cast 'group recall'}
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all;:shaitan:grecall}

Put the #WAIT before the focus change
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all; #WAIT 500;:shaitan:cast 'group recall'}

Do multiple focus changes. I'm not sure if shaitan will actually wait with this though
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all; :shaitan:#wait 500;:shaitan:cast 'group recall'}

Use an alarm in the main window (shortest time is 1 sec with version 6.16)
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all;#ALA +1 {:shaitan:cast 'group recall'}

Use an alarm in the shaitan window
#alias {grecall} {:fol apollyon; group all;:shaitan:#ALA +1 {cast 'group recall'}}

I expect there's other ways also, but that should give you enough choices to find something that works.

For the general problem; doing multiple commands in the shaitan window without bringing it to the top (even for a few seconds), you can probably use #EXEC or %exec as suggested by Vijilante. Other than that, the only method is what you are using:
:shaitan:action 1;:shaitan:action 2;:shaitan:action 3
