I seem to recall suggesting that you implement a command queue (such as a list of J strings to be executed), where go enqueued commands and the timer dequeued commands. I don't know of any reason that would not work other than the fact that you did not like the approach. But if you want to institute delayed execution of some J commands, it seems to me that a queue is the right approach. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
