script interruption (suite)

[Ian McKnight]

Hi Yves

Try moving the lines

send secondTimer to me in 5 Sec
-- record the message ID
put the result&cr after myPendingMessages

out of the handler altogether, placing it immediately before the place where
the main call to toggleexercice is made.

This should mean that a timer is started as soon as you call the main
handler.
If nothing is touched then the flag should be set to true after 5 secs which
is what the mouseclick does anyway. In this case you probably won't need the
clearMyPendingMessages handler but, maybe its overkill on my part, whenever
I use any send command I always like to clear up aftermyself this way -0
just to make sure.

Try that and see.

All the best
