I didn't try exactly what you asked so I can't say that it works or does not work. In my application, I wanted to wait for a Serial response for about 2 seconds and when I begin to receive it, I want to change the timeout to 10 milliseconds. So I had [code] __WPARAM12 = theTimeOut + theExtra [/code] where the variable named 'theExtra' has a value of 256 when 'theTimeOut' is 2100. When I begin to receive information, I change 'theExtra' to 0, and 'theTimeOut' to 10. I want to try just what you suggested tomorrow.
