Kevin,
Thanks for the suggestion. While exploring your suggestion I came up with
the following solution to a timeout for any standard Answer or Ask dialog.
I created the following handlers in my mainStack
on closeAnswer
close window "Answer Dialog"
end closeAnswer
on closeAsk
close window "Ask Dialog"
end closeAsk
Then whenever I want a dialog with a timeout I use the following code:
send closeAnswer to me in 5 seconds
answer "Hi there"
The dialog comes up and then in about 5 seconds it disappears. I don't know
if there are any side effects of this but it seems to work.
