I'm not quite sure how your program works, but the timer in the
following keeps going while the file-requester is open...
view layout [
button "Request" [x: request-file]
time: field to-string now/time
rate 1 feel [
engage: func [face action event][
if event/type = 'time [
time/text: to-string now/time
show time
]
]
]
