I want a Wait window to popup with a message and I want the message to
linger (timeout clause) but I don't want program execution to halt
until I press a key or the timeout expires.

What is the proper syntax?

Thanks.

You can't do it that way. You can wait a while, then call WAIT CLEAR. Or you
can write a class with a timer and have the timer clear it.

What I sometimes do is call it with a timeout of 1 second, then call it
again nowait. That way it will stay up at least one second, maybe more, and
won't hold up the program much.

WAIT NOWAIT NOWAIT 'message'
Start a Timer wich does WAIT CLEAR after an interval, or put a line with
WAIT CLEAR after the other code.
