	Many of the script file commands have timing arguments that can be
	set for the maximum wait time.  The WAITFOR command has a default
	of 30 seconds.  To up it to 60 seconds just use:


	        WAITFOR "string" 60


	WAITFOR also has a FOREVER option that allows you to wait forever
	for a string to appear on your screen; i.e.:


        	WAITFOR "string" FOREVER


	You didn't say which script file commands you were having problems
	with, but all the ones with timing function have the timing argument
	with the same syntax as the WAITFOR command.
