Hi Ramesh,

Karina is right--you should use a boolean, not a property.

I think you may be getting confused by the two meanings of "property."

(1) A property variable is really just a static variable on steroids. It 
can hold any kind of value--integer, string, whatever. This kind of 
property variable is usually defined as:
proprtey pPause

(2) A property type, indicated with a #. Typicallly you use them in lists, 
thus:
[#name: Ramesh, #job: programmer]
Access to items in property lists is typically faster than linear lists.

This type of property has other uses, like calling a handler (call #myHanlder).

The point is, even if you have a property variable, it doesn't have to 
contain a property. Make sense? I think you're better off with something 
like pPause = FALSE.

Cordially,
