Hi Chris,

I don't think SET WAIT will help. It only changes the cursor to a wait
cursor.

I would try finding out where the script stops and change the code there a
little.

Sometimes in big guis I've had it stop at the start of an event that has
LOCAL variables defined. Just leaving 1-2 empty lines after the LOCAL
command stopped it. I haven't been able to find out why.

It's also happened to me in C programs. I changed the code there too.

Dimitris
