That's the idea, as shown by Christophe (merci) /view has its own system input timeout: 8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------
>> ? inform
USAGE: INFORM panel /offset where /timeout time DESCRIPTION: Display an exclusive focus panel for alerts, dialogs, and requestors. INFORM is a function value. ARGUMENTS: panel -- (Type: object) REFINEMENTS: /offset where -- Offset of panel (Type: pair) /timeout <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< time -- (Type: any) 8<----------
>> ? request
USAGE: REQUEST str /offset xy /ok /only /confirm /timeout time DESCRIPTION: Requests an answer to a simple question. REQUEST is a function value. ARGUMENTS: str -- (Type: string block object none) REFINEMENTS: /offset xy -- (Type: any) /ok /only /confirm /timeout <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< time -- (Type: any) 8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<---------- while /core misses them. It wanted to be a suggestion to add the feature in /core too. Nimenhao Mario
