Good god! I agree with you, but I wouldn't want all the windows users to get angry and start a war on open-source!

You probably have good intentions, but as one Computer Science Major to another at least Computer Science oriented person from what it sounds like, Don't give people answers. Give them help, but half of the learning experience is learning a programming language and features on your own. Otherwise, they'll be lost in later courses.

does anybody know how to time io.read?
like... io.read for 5 seconds?
thanks.

Is that an asynchronous command? You want it to tell you when its done reading or do you want to interrupt it (if its still going) after 5 seconds?

at best perhaps a loop
while(1)
startime=getmiliseconds
io.read //however its used
endtime=getmiliseconds
print endtime-starttime . " seconds";
endwhile

And I don't know LUA at all but you should be able to subtract the begin time from the end time and print it.

i want it to interrupt it.
