Hello Robert,
The "with timeout" block allows to define the maximum delay AppleScript will wait for the reply returned from a command *sent to an application*.
The default delay is two minutes.
Should that delay be exceeded, AppleScript raises an error, but of course doesn't have the ability to interrupt the action undertaken by the targeted application.
On the other hand, if the error isn't c by an "on error" block, the script itself will halt.
HTH,
Axel
