Very interesting!  You should post it if you've got the time.

I've always wanted TPU to be able to start stuff until a key is pressed,
possibly with an initial delay.  You could then have it wait 5 sec and
reformat the text unless a key is pressed, and go to the ON_ERROR segment
if a key were pressed during execution of that code.   Seems to me most
background housekeeping could then be done while the user doesn't need
immediate response.  Add that to my wish list...
