Hi Gordon
I didn't find any more way to do my script with your function. I think i should 
tell you some details about my script because may be I don't understand your 
functions clearly.
1. I create an input box for students to fiel out their name, their class and 
the amount of time (minute) to perform a test
2. Students should be given a hotkey to start their test. The script will 
perform a schedule function according to their amount of time. When they're out 
of time, the keyboard lock automatically
3. whenever students finished their test, they use a hotkey to lock their 
keyboard. And i would like to calculate the time from their start time to that 
point.
I did very well two steps, and now, if you have free time, please show me how 
to do the lat step. I think your function can do it but don't know how to use
Thanks so much.

  Hi

  Here's a few functions I use to calculate how long until a particular time
  is reached from the current time.  Hope it's what you're looking for and
  I'm sure you can amend it for your own needs.

  int function SecondsSinceMidnight(string sText)
  ; Determine how many seconds have elapsed since midnight
  var
  int h

  let sText = stringStripAllBlanks (sText)
  ; Get the hours and multiply them by 3600 ( 60 x 60)
  let h = StringtoInt(StringSegment (sText, ":", 1)) * 3600
  ; Now add on the minutes
  let h = h + StringtoInt(StringSegment (sText, ":", 2)) * 60
  ; and finally the seconds
  let h = h + StringtoInt(StringSegment (sText, ":", 3))
  return h
  endfunction

  int function SecondsToTarget(string sText)
  ; How long is it now until the target in seconds
  var
  int h

  ; Turn the current time into a time since midnight and remove that
  from the input time
  let h = SecondsSinceMidnight(sText) - SecondsSinceMidnight(SysGetTime
  ("HH:mm:ss"))
  if (h < 0)
  let h = 24 * 3600 + h
  endif
  return h
  endfunction

  string function GetTimeWords(int h,string sUnits)
  ; Show a time in words pluralising where appropriate.
  var
  string s

  if (h == 0)
  return ""
  endif
  let s = IntToString(h) + " " + sUnits
  if (h > 1)
  let s = s + "s"
  endif
  return s + " "
  endfunction

  string function TimeToTarget(string sTarget)
  ; How long to go until the target time is reached
  ; sTarget is in the form hh:mm:ss
  Var
  int h,
  int m,
  int s,
  string sMsg

  ; Break the time down to hours, minutes and seconds
  let h = SecondsToTarget(sTarget)
  ; Get the seconds off
  let s = h % 60
  ; Now throw away the seconds
  let h = h / 60
  ; Get the minutes
  let m = h % 60
  ; Now throw away the minutes and leave the hours
  let h = h / 60
  ; Now put this into words
  let sMsg = StringTrimTrailingBlanks (GetTimeWords(h,"hour") +
  GetTimeWords(m,"minute"))
  if (sMsg != "") && (s > 0)
  let sMsg = sMsg + " and "
  endif
  let sMsg = StringTrimTrailingBlanks(sMsg + GetTimeWords(s,"second"))
  return sMsg

  endfunction

  Any questions please give me a shout.

  Thanks
