Indeed it is pretty cool, nice that it has fulfilled its purpose and 
even "reproduced".

Well, I'd love to, and have tried to, but it turns out I can't sign 
them.

I thank you!

And I had assumed the timer would have to be stored and canceled at 
every repeat, and also that somehow the message would have to be cleared 
when the exit function timer ran.  I see you handled all that.  Looks 
good to me.

I might!  :-)
But if you push me to you it, you run the risk of getting yet other 
"small suggestions".

Thanks again!
