Capturing Late Responses

[Andrew]

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply. I actually was using the Extended Input
(i.e., the Time Limit field of the slide object); the problem turned
out to be another issue. I was using c.GetAttrib to return the value
of the object attribute, when I should have just used the variable
name.

Thanks,

-Andrew
