Re: The Wait command

Hi Bob, This is definitely new territory for me but I think perhaps the "with messages" option of the wait command does what you want. The dictionary indicates that "with messages" allows the user to carry on doing other things in LC while it is waiting for suspended handler to to resume. Pete Mol
