You are correct.  I use the py timer to pause the commands being sent to the
pipe.  There seems to be something fluky about that too.  It looks as if
when I have four or more do_commands, it doesn't run as a timer.  Takes more
scrutiny...

I am not sure how I lost the entire Audacity command for the Audacity time
control. Still, I need a timer in there somewhere. 
Time will tell (-:

"ENDIF, ENDFOR, ENDWHILE statements" do exist in my python program.  I place
them as comments to document the end of the operations. It makes it easier
for me to follow the logic especially if they are nested.

	Most likely your source had a series of spaces, my post had a
leading <tab>.

	In Python, a <tab> is counted as EIGHT spaces, even if an editor
only moved in by four spaces.

	Python uses indentation to indicate the block structure of the
language
-- you'll note there are no { } (C or Java), nor ENDIF, ENDFOR, ENDWHILE
statements.

	If this is in response to my /first/ post, I forgot to include the '
'
delimiters around the string argument. That meant the command you were
sending to Audacity was seeing three or more parameters, not two. Python
didn't care at that point. If you have the ' ' in place, then Audacity is
the application that is complaining.

	The first does nothing for Audacity processing -- it only blocks the
Python script itself. And you haven't provided the Audacity command
completely -- since I can't find that on the script reference page.
