Very Simple Question, I'm a script newb, just need a little help. Options

[superafroboy]

Hey guys, I have next to no knowledge of scripting, and just wanted to make a quick little script that displays the current date after my hero rests / checks the calendar.

I have everything set up, but I don't know how to display the window only for a few seconds, and then remove it.

Currently it just displays for a short time and then is removed on its own (I assume after something is refreshed or whatever?)

Here is my pathetic little script, I assume there is something I could just throw in at the end to dispose the window after x frames or something?

CODE

class Calendar < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 200, 120)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)

    date = $game_variables[4]
    year = $game_variables[9]
    
    if $game_variables[18] == 1
      weekday = "Monday"
    elsif $game_variables[18] == 2
      weekday = "Tuesday"
    elsif $game_variables[18] == 3
      weekday = "Wednesday"
    elsif $game_variables[18] == 4
      weekday = "Thursday"
    elsif $game_variables[18] == 5
      weekday = "Friday"
    elsif $game_variables[18] == 6
      weekday = "Holiday"
    else
      weekday = "Nil"
    end    


   self.contents.font.size = 20
   self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 200, 32, "Today's Date is:")
   self.contents.draw_text(0, 20, 200, 32, weekday)
   self.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 30, 32, "Day")
   self.contents.draw_text(35, 40, 25, 32, date.to_s)
   self.contents.draw_text(0, 60, 40, 32, "Year")
   self.contents.draw_text(45, 60, 25, 32, year.to_s)
  
  end

end

Any help would be much appreciated.
