- Lisa,
-
- Here are the extra parts. But first, please change the
- example that reads:
-
- wait 1 min 10 secs
-
- to read
-
- wait 2 min
-
- Thanks. The image "master2.iff" is to go about here as well.

- In the top Shell window, Wait has been used to put the
- window to sleep for twenty minutes. However, in the lower
- Shell window, we use Status to discover the process number
- and we can then send a break which will wake up the Wait
- before time.

- Box out: Workbench Toys
-
- If you ever get bored using your Amiga for mundane tasks
- such as games, Internet access, ray tracing, MIDI sequencing
- and all nonsense, you'll be pleased to know that they are
- lots of little add-on toys you can play with. These can all
- run in the background, quietly multitasking away until you
- get really bored and nuke them.
-
- For example, in the screen shot below you can see that most
- useful utility, Eyes. Eyes draws some eyes on the screen.
- They follow your pointer about, and if you don't move it for
- a bit they fall asleep. Bit like me in that respect.
-
- Secondly we have Stickit! which could possibly be taken to
- be useful by a stretch of the imagination. Rather than cover
- your monitor / desk / workmates with little bits of coloured
- paper, you can use this program to maintain little notes
- which float around the screen. It is only worth using this
- program if you have a large screen display. In fact, if you
- have a lot of notes and several pairs of eyes watching you
- will soon run out of space to actually do any work.

- caption: The new improved Workbench includes a dodgey pair
- of peepers to keep track of where you are pointing, and
- ecologically sound bits of sticky paper. Excellent.
