Dear Justin and others,  
  
I am sorry for the very tardy reply to this - just the usual end-of-semester craziness.  
  
I have tested the new version of NetStation.m with your lines from below and all appears to work fine: all the events got sent at the specified time and for the set duration,&nbsp;with and without key/value arguments. I have recorded the output but just realise that the mff-file is of not much use to you if you don’t have access to NetStation. Let me&nbsp;know if you want to have it anyway or if you want me to convert it into another format that you can read.  
Also, let me know if I can do anything else.  
  
In any case, thank you very much for that fix.  
  
Cheers,  
Urte
