RE: NEWBIE Question: LUA wait() function?

["Rolf" <rb@...>]

Whatever "w" does, that solved it!

Still have the "Black Box" issue and the program is indeed still locked up
when waiting. I guess it is simply not possibly to do what I was hoping to
do w/o creating threads. Something which I do not think can be done with the
current setup.

Another way is of course to write external programs by using the Ecco API.
That is, however, a bit beyond my current knowledge...

In any case, thank you to everyone who gave so many suggestions! This group
seems to be a great community. Wish that I understood programming better....

- local f=io.open(vb)
+ local f=io.open(vb,"w")
