It's probably mysterious morning (or bad day:). Why "cCommand will equate to FOR x = 1 to 10"? I also built simple memo with 3 lines wtih different WAIT WINDOW commands and it works! If, for example, first line of meo contains WAIT WINDOW "Line1" timeout 2, then cCommand='WAIT WINDOW "Line1" timeout 2' and &cCommand. works Ok. I really lost in your reply.
