Hi Ron!

It appears that both work. I guess it depends on whether you add the 
semi-colon to the selector or not.

The timer was only a wild idea on how to work around the original 
problem with the window's field editor. I got the timer to work, but 
it does not solve the original problem.

Best,
Pierre
