Subject: Re: Msgbox automatically closing after about 1 second or so....<br>
<br>
\r PFMBTO = n \r<br>
(4.5.8, Unix only, 5.8.0 Windows also) Causes popup message boxes<br>
to timeout after n seconds, and behave as if the user had<br>
pressed \KZ. Values: 1 <= n <= 32000. Affects MSGBOX, ERRORBOX,<br>
and any filePro popup which default to pressing \KZ.<br>
Default: no timeout.<br>
<br>
Is it possible that the user made some changes and is now feigning ignorance? "I have no idea what happened. It just started to act weird." It wouldn't be the first time.<br>
