There is another PD program called CommandReq, that puts up a requestor, and lets you pick YES or NO as to whether a particular command should be executed. It's better than ASK, because it has a timeout feature, that will assume YES or NO, depending on how you invoke it, if you don't select anything within a certain amount of time that you specify. I use it in my startup sequence a lot, for instance to decide whether or not CONMAN and FUNCKEY should be used or not. I give myself 3 seconds to select NO, or else by default, they are active. Leave me a message if it's not in any DL here, and I'll put together an ARC file and upload it.
