1. message_box with a timeout
Is there a way to use the a message_box function with a timeout?
So if the user doesn't click a button after a set amount of time
the message box closes on it's own? I'm working in exw.exe so Win32?
Haven't gotten into the GUI stuff yet.
Maybe there's more capability going that route than there is in msgbox.e
Just got started with EUPHORIA. Lots of fun. Thanks for any help anyone
can offer on the message_box question.

You really should get the Win32Lib and Judith's IDE.
It will make the Windows erm.... 'experience' much less painful.

A standard Windows message box won't do this for you, but, if you're using
Win32Lib, I'd recommend using a modal dialog, along with a timer that
closes the dialog after the specified time.
