Hi! I'm trying to adapt piece of code found here  to set time limit for user to enter something in command prompt.  I wrote something like this: Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("char"), $nRead, $sRet = "" Local $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile("CON", 2, 2) $start = TimerInit() While TimerDiff($start) < 10000 _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer), 1, $nRead) If DllStructGetData($tBuffer, 1) = @CR Then ExitLoop If $nRead > 0 Then $sRet &= DllStructGetData($tBuffer,
