Thanks very much! I suppose if I put a ;return after the send -- "y"

"(X, Y, Z" {send -- "y" ;return}

Otherwise, it would continue with the next expect statement anyway,
once it timed out, correct?


No, by default the expect command will normally return after a match,
a timeout or a eof has occured. It's the exp_continue in the other
case that will keep on running the expect command so a return is not
necessary. See also http://www.tcl.tk/man/expect5.31/expect.1.html
