I'm sure this has been done a million time, but I can not find it by searching the forum.

I'd like to leave a information box up after program exit. Preferably one that only last 30 seconds or so.
I realize I could have it call another script, but was wondering if there is another way...

Possible a call to windows to display it???

I realize I could also simply have it open notepad and type the message in.. Again,,, a better way...?

You could use a timer, which in due time does an exitapp.

Well, after program exit, Windows automatically closes all windows this program has created... So, as you guessed, you have to run another program (small secondary script, some utility) to display the message.

Does this have the desired effect? (Try running it and then exiting it through the tray menu.)
