So, based on that, I can't tell when it became available in
Windows.<br>

<pre wrap="">Does anyone use the PFMBTO environmental variable? It's my understanding that if I set this to say 5, any MSGBOX message should clear itself in 5 seconds. When running in a batch situation, this would keep the processing from halting (waiting for user import), correct? I can't seem to make this work, and am wondering if my expectations are not correct.
If I run the following batch file, it should complete without any user intervention, correct? (no need for the user to press ENTER):
SET PFMBTO=5
\fp\rreport test -fp test -a
(test.prc has a single line: MSGBOX "Test record"<@rn)
What could I be doing wrong? Also, is there any equivalent timeout variable that would work for ERRORBOX as well as /instead of MSGBOX?
Thanks,
Bob
