Assuming "waith" contains a typo, how would you use Wait in console? Do you mean: the Wait instruction in a Gambas program without GUI or do you mean the "wait" program in a shell? Or do you mean you start an external program in a shell from a Gambas program and then use Wait? And... what "behaviour" do you mean after all? In the paragraph you responded to above, I was talking about the event loop running when you use Wait. How could that possibly *not* happen in a console program using Wait? I'm not sure if I can really help you because I can't even guess what your words mean - unlike others, I noticed! > > > > The thing with the console you mentioned maybe happens as follows (you > > didn't really provide details): you call an external program through Shell > > which is not affected by your program being asleep.
