Script for executable idle timer

[Phil Davis]

No need to modify the answer dialog. This works:

In a button on my test stack:

    on mouseUp
        start using this stack
        send "updateDialog 9" to fld id 1006 of stack "answer dialog" in
    1 second
        answer "Your world will end in 10 seconds."
    end mouseUp


In the script of my test stack:

    command updateDialog pTime
         if pTime = 0 then
             click at the loc of btn "OK" of stack "answer dialog"
         else
             put "Your world will end in" && pTime && "seconds." into
    the target
             subtract 1 from pTime
             send "updateDialog pTime" to the target in 1 second
         end if
    end updateDialog


Except my world didn't end when the dialog closed. That will require 
more code.
