I've got an A3000 running 2.0. I'm using the c:iconx program to run the following script: .K filename System2.0:rexxc/rx pg.rexx <filename> This script calls a rexx program which display some lines of output on the window opened by iconx. What I want to do then is delay the closing of the window so I can read the output. According to the manual, there is a DELAY= tool type for iconx which should allow this, but I'm having problems with it. First, if you say DELAY=0, then the window will close with CNTRL-C. I can not seem to get that to work. My window was open until I rebooted. Next, if you specify DELAY=n, where n is number of seconds, the window will close after n seconds. After diddling with this for a while, I noticed that if I specify DELAY=400, I get a 4 or 5 second delay. (A DELAY=4 closes the window immediately). Are these bugs with the DELAY tool type, or am I doing something wrong? Paul Bidwell p.l.bidwell@att.com

I bet the units are AmigaDOS TICKS. 1 tick = 1/50 second.
