Roy,

What "timeout object stuff" has changed?
Were the changes good/bad/indifferent?

The format for declaring a timeout has changed:

Part of the new-syntax / DOM cleanup.

You now do:

timeOut().new("foo", 2000, #someFunc)

timeOut(<stringName>) will either return the named timeOut object, or
VOID if it does not exist.

You'll notice the same behavior for member() (now returns VOID instead
of member(-1)) and a couple others that I can't think of right now.

Since this will break old movies, that are moved to MX 2004, there's
another property:

_movie.scriptExecutionStyle  If this is set to 9, then Lingo will act
the old way, and you can migrate projects to 2004 without much
re-writing (if any).  If it is set to 10, then you get the new behavior.
