Hi I believe I have used something written by Kerry that allowed callbacks or parameters for timeouts...a sort of timeout wrapper class that worked rather well as I recall...might be worth a dig in the archives, cause unfortunately I can't find the link right now I'm sorry I've missed this

Yes. (assuming the last "this" is a "what") The timeout object (and the 'me' if it's a behavior) are parameters which are returned. Makes it real convenient to "what.forget()" the calling timeout object if necessary, without having to know/hardcode the name of the calling timeout object. Also
