I would like to be able to specify 0 for a delay in $tip to indicate that is will only close from an x of the tip window.

Let me explain why...

I have a page type script. Now it puts up a tip when ever I get paged. The tip shows who paged and when. I do not want those tips to close till I manually close them.

Right now in the documentation for $tip it indicates:

delay - from 3 to 60 seconds

But also it shows (in help):

Other features: Right-clicking in a tip pauses the time-out for all tips.


I would like to see a value of 0 for delay emulate the right clicking in a tip.

Comments, opinions, why this is NOT a good idea, are all welcome.
