<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

try the MsgBox function. It can have Yes and No buttons and will return a code depending on which one was clicked.

I know that much I have one to exit the script but how do I pause the script wait.. it the msg box returns a no just skip the prog and exit and just make sure the msg box is out of the main loop.. bah I am so tired right now thanks though

Msgboxes automatically pause the script. Just say If MsgBox(4, "", "") = 6 Then (user pressed yes)

Else

(they pressed something else)

endif

isnt that all u need?

MsgBox() should be what you need, but I suggest looking for a "no" (7) response from it, so as not to get a compilation error should you forget an EndIf at the end of the script

if $msgboxret = "7" Then Exit

is easier than

if $msgboxret = "6" Then
;all
;your
;code
Else
Exit
Endif
