Aha, it's the 3 seconds in the dialog box that's doing it?  Well
try doing this.  After the "_zmod_auto = 0;" line stick in
"_alarm_on = 0;".  Hopefully this will get rid of that dialog
box, and get straight into the guts.  If you have an aversion to
changing the code, you could try switching off the alarms in the
configuration section (Alt-O, General, B).  BFN.  Paul.
