John/Daniel:
All that is already working. What I need is to know if there is a way to enforce the system to actually read the display with what's on it if there was anything typed in on it by the user. What I'm having now is working, the 30-second timeout gives control back to the program, but I don't have any modified data by the user.

Javier, I guess I don't know, never had to do that. I'd recommend playing around in debug, typing in data w/o pressing enter/FKeys and wait for the timeout and check. Sorry.

So, is there any way to force the system like "hey, after 30 seconds, could you please pretend the Enter key or (say) F6 key was pressed, so as to have any typed in data available to the program?"
