Hi,
Previously I wrote...

and a few people replied to me for which I am very gratefull. I managed
to find the source of the problem, though I can't say _why_ it caused the
problem it did. What I was in fact doing was a little different from what
I showed above. This
AddToFunc "InitFunction"
+ "I" Exec exec xemacs
+ "I" Wait xemacs
+ "I" Exec exec xscreensaver -timeout 1
does not work. This
AddToFunc "InitFunction"
+ "I" Exec exec xemacs
+ "I" Wait *emacs
+ "I" Exec exec xscreensaver -timeout 1
does work. It also works if the Wait is taken out completely. I tried
this because the title on the xemacs window I saw open (when I was editing
this file) was emacs instead of xemacs. What I do not understand is why
the (incorrect) Wait statement gave this odd behavior of not executing the
following statement. In fact it may have never finnished; I don't know.
Does Wait ever time out?
I guess we can chalk this one up to poor programming and faulty question
posting.
Thanks All,
Tom
