First - thanks for your replies. It's great that you people have the patience to deal with an incompetent newbie.

I have no problem holding the text on the screen for whatever time I desire. The question in my mind is the value I am forced to use.

In my first sad Demod, a wait_stop value of 200 was ample for the interval. But in my current work, a dialog of similar length reqires up to 2000. I don't want someone with a dissimilar computer to go get a cup of tea while the dialog shows on their screen. So I was just curious as to why I now must use the greater value.

Thanks again.
