Hello, Nicola, Thank you for being well-detailed about what it is for. Yes, just as you have done, I played a little bit with the message display time, and it worked. I now understand what it does. Meanwhile, as rightly stated, I only wish PDI was much more well-detailed, not lacking, as they very clearly show! I do not think PDI admits they fail in making the manual more well-detailed, not lacking, so that others would know and understand exactly what each feature does! This is the solid truth about PDI!
Thank you, Nicola, once again for your help! Smile.
