\r PFMBTO = n \r
    (4.5.8, Unix only, 5.8.0 Windows also) Causes popup message boxes 
    to timeout after n seconds, and behave as if the user had 
    pressed \KZ.  Values: 1 <= n <= 32000. Affects MSGBOX, ERRORBOX, 
    and any filePro popup which default to pressing \KZ.

Default: no timeout.

Is it possible that the user made some changes and is now feigning
ignorance? "I have no idea what happened. It just started to act weird." It
wouldn't be the first time.

James,

I think Ken is referring to PFMBTO, which I guess stands for PF Message Box
Time Out, which sure sounds like what you are experiencing.

But what are the chances of that environmental variable getting set on your
server without you knowing about it?

James,

There is an environment variable that controls error messages auto closing
check and see if there is something similar for msgbox or that variable
impacts msgbox.
