Buzz, I really appreciate the time and trouble you took to write this. I've
printed out a copy for reference. It's very good of you to provide answers
and tips. They are very useful. Thank you!

Please forgive my ignorance, but where is the above displayed?
I do not know what you are referring to.

So, in this way the 'wait' command is useful. Now I understand. But it does
slowdown the movie playback somewhat and it can be quite a 'bottleneck'.
