Tim,

>not sure how to implement. Do I put that text into a function and call it.?

You just have to DECLARE it once before trying to use it, then you can call it just like any builtin function or UDF.

declare integer sndPlaySound in winmm.dll string cSoundName, integer uFlags

sndPlaySound( "C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\The Microsoft Sound.wav", 17 ) && asynchronous

for i = 1 to 100
   ?? str(i), "See I'm processing while the sound plays melodically in the background "
endfor

sndPlaySound( "C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\The Microsoft Sound.wav", 16 ) && delay till finished
? "I don't execute until the sound is done"
