Does anyone have a sample timer application where you can pick a

Stewart,
I reread your message and realized I misinterpreted it the first
time. If I understand correctly, you want something to happen only
during a specific time window. Here is one possible approach (not
tested).
Let's say you want the handler to be triggered during some five
minute window starting at a time you specify in field "openWindow".
So this field may have, say, "11:30 AM" in it. So in your card script
you might have:
local tStart, tEnd
on loadEventTrigger
put fld "openWindow" into tStart
convert tStart to seconds
put tStart + (5 * 60) into tEnd
checkWindowOpen
end loadEventTrigger
on checkWindowOpen
get the seconds
if it > tStart and it < tEnd then
# do stuff here
else
# if not in the window, keep checking
send checkWindowOpen to me in 1 second # or whatever interval
you want
end if
end checkWindowOpen
Don't forget a way to cancel the pending message in case you leave
the card. See the cancel command in the Dictionary.
