RES: While loop and time.sleep function

[Alves, Carlos Alberto - Coelce]

Thanks for your help!
But, for me, it only works properly under interactive sections (don't forget
I'm under Windows ;-)).
So, to make it works as I desire (accepting 'double-click' and 'enter' to
launching application) I just put two small lines in your code(see below). 
Now, the code is running just fine.
