Hi John...

I think I'm following this, and I'm quite near the point where I need a
timer in my piece.

I'm trying to undestand how this will drop into place with how I'm intending
to use it--that is to say, can I reset this counter on any of my commands so
that they, in addition to their original commands, do a TT that says:

Begin Tell Target (/Timer)
go to and play label "Timer Start"
End Tell Target (/Timer)

At the end of 20 seconds with no action, I want the MC to return to an
"active" state that I've prepared.

Ugh, does this make sense?

Thanks,

Russ
