You're right, Bill, there's no timer in j602 jconsole either. But I was only thinking of wd'timer...' --which I have to replace in code I want to port to JHS.
If there isn't a timer in J7, and there isn't going to be, I'll write my own. A simple shell script should do it. But I always get caned when I develop my own solutions when a good published solution exists. So I like to ask around first. Sorry, Bjorn, "delay" (6!:3) is no good: it hangs J for the duration of the pause, which wd'timer...' doesn't. An asynchronous variant of 6!:3 would be nice however, and satisfy all my timing needs.
