Karen,
As documented: When a TIMEOUT occurs, a command file can be run; however, the command file cannot include a FILLIN or DIALOG command, or expect a keystroke. If you want to run a command file when a TIMEOUT occurs, you need to store the name of the file in a variable called RBTI_TimeOut. For example: SET VARIABLE RBTI_TIMEOUT TEXT = 'c:\word\cleanup.rmd' Note: The command file must end with a RETURN command. The following command line will exit a user to the operating system after the user's workstation is inactive for one hour: SET TIMEOUT 60 For complete details: http://www.RSyntax.com Very Best Regards, Razzak.
