instruction1
instruction2
pause(40secs)
instruction3

my problem is: how can I do the pause and send the instructions of
other
instruction files in the meantime?

i.e.
instruction1
instruction2
pause(40secs)
instruction1
instruction2
instruction1
instruction3

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help!!

Larry hit the mark - a bit more explanation is in order, but until then
I
guess DoEvents and sleep is what you are after?

I'm guessing instructions are grouped into tasks, so while he needs to
pause
task 1 he can start processing task 2.

Good guess, Michael. Sorry for being unspecific, but I think that is part of
my problem. I do not know how to approach it.

'Throwing away the rest' shall mean, that the instruction file is deleted
after execution.

Michael has brought it right to the point. I have instruction sets that are
grouped into tasks. These tasks are stored in plain text files.
Tasks can contain pauses.
While Task 1 pauses, i need to be able to execute Task 2, Task 3 and Task N
(which, of course, can contain pauses again).

Another thing: I cannot release the port in the meantime, because we also
have incomming traffic on that port.

Is this somehow more specific? I hope so...

Ole
