Newby question

[Mark Smith]

Well for question 2... if you start the test with a button, the add  
to that buttons script:

startTimer

and then in the stack script:

on startTimer
send "timesUp" to me in 120 seconds
end startTimer

on timesUp
beep
go last cd -- or whatver action needs to be taken
end timesUp
