Text Collection with 5 minute timeout

  Hi Karen,

  This is odd, normally it should work; (at the moment however, the program would only advance when the timeout has passed AND a key is pressed; I'm planning to fix this sometime this week).
  If I give timeout the value 300000 (= 5 minutes) it works for me.
  Could you perhaps copy the script here, just to doublecheck?

  Cheers,
  Josh

  Hi,

  I found out that if I make the change to the timeout setting and then immediately run the program - it works. However, if I open up anything else prior to running the program, the timeout reverts back to 100000ms.

  This is the script:

  set _question "Your question goes here..."
  set accept_on "timeout"
  set background "white"
  set font_family "sans"
  set font_size "24"
  set foreground "Black"
  set frame "yes"
  set frame_width "3"
  set linewidth "600"
  set timeout "300000"
  

  I also noted (once I got the timing working temporarily) the issue you noted, that a button had to be pressed after the timeout for it to move on. If you have a fix for that issue, that would be great as well for I need the program to advance automatically and without a button press.

  Thanks much for the help.

  Karen
