Hi Alex
I have tried you code but it works. Nevertheless have you tried it this way
WAIT WINDOW "QUICK" TIMEOUT 1
WAIT WINDOW "GOT HERE"
I have a think that that TIMEOUT has to be the last in the command. Let me know if it helps.

I've not seen this happen anywhere, and the only reason I noticed it is because I recently started running a "batch" process directly on the server. In that batch process there are many WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT ... statements, and the batch was just pausing at each--waiting for a keystroke. Wierd!!
