I am using a list setup command that works fine but I have found that if its left open, processing of commands pauses. (not a problem)

But if a user leaves it open and walks away, this could be a problem.

I tried using the timer.fil to count down a variable and close it that way but it didn't work. :(

I put this in my timer.fil
!\19={\19-1}

I put this in m Mcode.fil
!\19=5
!LISTSETUP XXX;XXX;XXX;XXX :LISTADD EXIT :LISTADD ST1 :LISTADD ST2
!LISTPICK \21
!IF \21=EXIT THEN EXIT
!IF \21=ST1 THEN bla bla bla
!IF \21=ST2 THEN bla bla bla
!IF \19<0 THEN \21=EXIT :EXIT
----M1

I tried many other variants and nothing seems to close the list. Any ideas?

Should I say Thank You AL in advance??? :D

LOL

Sometimes the easy answers are the hardest to find..
!IF \18<0 THEN LISTSETUP :EXIT
thanks anyhow!!!

UPDATE:
I thought it worked but it didnt. :( All that code did was make the box very small and hide it behind a button on the screen at 0;0 position.

Any ideas?
