Mike Yates is concerned that the TYPE command, under certain
circumstances, can and does result in a system crash. It may be worth noting
that you can "roll your own" handler which should (hopefully) avoid whatever
nastiness the TYPE command runs afoul of, and here's one possible way to do
it:
on TypeItOut TheText,TheFld
## save the current selection
put the selectedChunk into OldSelection
put the ticks into Tymer
repeat with K1 = 1 to the length of TheText
put char 1 to K1 of TheText into fld TheFld
## this assures semi-constant typing rate, regardless of MHz
add 3 to Tymer
## adjust for desired typing speed, if need be; N = (60 / N) char/sec
wait until the ticks => Tymer
end repeat
select OldSelection
end TypeItOut
Hope this helps...
