[RBASE-L] - Re: Pause for n command

[Jim Limburg]

Robert, Bernie

I run the file below and got the results below, I don't seen any problems
with running one after another so far, and they does look like they wait
on each other.
Robert, could you post the code that you are using, and maybe we
could better troubleshoot it that way.

Are the pauses ocurring less than 2 seconds apart?
Don't know, just a wild guess but if the second pause starts before the 
first one finishes well......

    Subject: [RBASE-L] - Pause for n command
    I have a strange problem with the 'Pause for n' command. In one file
    I have five of them. Only three work as designed. The other two
    (identical) just keep the prompt standing there refusing to
    disappear unless the OK button is pressed. They all use the 'for 2'
    option.
     
    Help anyone?
