I have a waitenter.mps file:
-----
Begin
purgeInput;
write('!CR!15/// !05pRESS !15[!13eNTER!15] !05tO cONTINUE!13... !15///')
oneKey(#13, True)
End
-----
It works great for pausing at Mystic broadcast messages; I call it in the broadcast theme editor...

Anyway, it the 'oneKey' holds there forever... in MPL can I add some !OR command to have it hold forever, like it does now, OR move forward after... 120 seconds???

... right now, if I'm idling and come back I get many Mystic broadcasts... I'd like to hold it there for 120seconds, or a keypress - as opposed to only a keypress...

Not just with the onekey function. You should use a while loop, with keypressed and store/compare the time, with a tick count function and read the pressed key with readkey. If you want the code, i can write it for you, but i am leaving it to you, for now, to have the enjoyment of finding it your self :)
