Help, again;

My program has a nice Splash screen that cancles well
by clicking or hitting, Return or Cancel.
Decided to add a Timed out feature using ENTERPROC code
from article by Robert Schenk in Inside Basic, Vol 5, No 1
January 1995.

Times out, then re-appears, times out, re-appears etc.
in infinite cycle until clicked on. WON'T respond to
Return or Cancel.

Uses following code. ENTERPROC is in first segment (there
are other ENTERPROCS in this program.

Can call AboutMAF splash screen from Apple Menu
with with a%=FN ALERT(_AboutMAF,0) BUT this doesn't time out.
Replacing 0 with myFilterAddr& causes alert to flash
on and cancel once. What kind of error am I looking for.
Has anyone know what's happening or why?

OK Button = item 1, cancel Btn = item 2, Spash screen
graphic = item 3

boolean, Key, Hitee&, dialogPtr&, EvtPtr&, myFilterAddr&
timeOut& and tocks& all DIM'd in GLOBALS

GOTO "endSkip"
"myFilter"
ENTERPROC(dialogPtr&, EvtPtr&, Hitee&)
   boolean = 0
   LONG IF {EvtPtr}=_KeyDwnEvt
     Key = PEEK(EvtPtr& + _evtMessage + 3)
     SELECT CASE Key
       CASE 27                                     'Escape=27
         boolean = -1                              'cancel Btn
         %Hitee&, 2
       CASE 13, 3                                  'Return or Enter
         boolean = -1
         %Hitee&, 1
       CASE ELSE
     END SELECT
   XELSE
     tocks&=FN TICKCOUNT
     LONG IF tocks&>timeOut&
       boolean = -1
       %Hitee&, 151
     END IF
   END IF
