PFMBTO

[Richard Kreiss]

I just tested this using Windows version rclerk 5.8.3.15  and it cleared the MSGBOX;. Note however that when the msgbox() closed the routine ended.  I ran this from @keyT. 

@keyT: "Test Routine"
If:
Then: putenv 
PFMBTO","5";MSGBOX "Testing PFMBTO at 5 seconds"
If:
THEN: Msgbox "PFMBTO ran and cloied the msgbox()"
If:
Then: END

The second msgbox mnever ran.
