using Filemaker Pro 4.1, I find that lodging an AppleScript within a ScriptMaker script works well EXCEPT that I can't seem to stipulate any timeout parameters.

does anyone know the trick to doing this?

e.g.,

tell AppleScript
with timeout of 500 seconds

tell application "foo"
foo bar
end tell

end timeout
end tell

I've never tried to use a timeout in an embedded script (in FMP), so I don't know if there's an AppleScript fix or not. If not, you may need to break the AppleScript into segments and use FMP's "Pause/Resume Script" script step.
