Is there away to have like a timer() driven event that will trigger a
function when a computer is idle (say at a menu to prompt) for a
certain amount of time?

Look at Nanforum Toolkit ver. 3.x for FT_ONTICK() and DT_ONIDLE()
functions.

Hi Steve (both of you).

I have used BGEvents very successfully to collect incoming radio data
as part of a dredging ship's operations in a place of rapid tide
changes. Highly recommended contribution by Robert Lamping of the
Netherlands.
