I'm not sure it will or will not. You can always modify the code to do

more complicated things. The current Delay Plug and Plug is just that a

timed delay. 

You can interrupt it with


      Begin Tell Target ("/count")

            Go to and Stop (1)

      End Tell Target

The timer part of this is not a problem, but how will you detect no

activity?

I have a Plug and Play for this in development but it isn't quite ready.
