Wait with messages

[Camm29]

Thanks for that ,

1 is put into x within a button script on mouseup .

> Why do i check (x=1) 2 times ?

Well I actually check for(x=1) 10 times ?!
I think I've missed the concept of messages
I thought if not checking for x after each function in the loop it would
mean 10 x 250ms wait to exit ????

Each do something (10 off ) in the loop retrieves different data (each takes
250ms) via the rs232 port and displays
on a card in real time until the stop button is pressed.

Thanks in advance
Camm
