Luis suggested it and Rob made it! Thank you both. It is tested and this gives exactly what I was looking for. By the way: >use something cyclical, just something to mean, "The program hasn't completely hung yet." Agreed. Actually, I use a copy of the spinning thing of FireFox. I know it is a kind of swindle but it is reassuring (including for me) to see something moving on the screen. Thanks a lot. Gilles
