  Which controller are you using and if Propeller are you using Spin or C or Forth or PASM?

  i just have a button, led and a resistor, basic stamp 2, pbasic 2 i think. my friend was the one who asked me for help and i tried to give him some very easy and small codes but i don't know if they'll work since i've never used basic stamp and don't have any near me that i can try out.

  Here is something I cobbled together. The 500 value in the for-next loop may need adjusting down if you need a more precise 5 minute interval.

  But for goodness sake, download basic 2.5 so you have the PIN statement!

  Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems pretty easy.
  

  ' {$STAMP BS2}
  ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
  
  Trigger         PIN     0
  LED             PIN     1
  
  Main:
    DO WHILE (Trigger = 0)
      ' wait for button press
    LOOP
  
    HIGH LED
    PAUSE 5000
    LOW LED
  
    DO WHILE (Trigger = 1)
      ' wait for release
    LOOP
  
    GOTO Main
  

  
  If you want early off but 5s max you can do it like this:
  

  ' {$STAMP BS2}
  ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
  
  Trigger         PIN     0
  LED             PIN     1
  
  timer           VAR     Word
  
  Main:
    DO WHILE (Trigger = 0)
      ' wait for button press
    LOOP
  
    HIGH LED
  
    FOR timer = 1 TO 500
      PAUSE 10
      IF (Trigger = 0) THEN Exit
    NEXT
  
    LOW LED
  
    DO WHILE (Trigger = 1)
      ' wait for release
    LOOP
  
    GOTO Main

  Adding to what JonnyMac said, here is the same thing except the state of the button is defined as a constant. Now the code can be transferred to the Professional Development board more easily.
  

  ' {$STAMP BS2}
  ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
  
  trigger     PIN     0
  LED         PIN     1
  
  buttonPressed CON 0             'state of trigger when pressed
  
  Main:
    DO WHILE (trigger <> buttonPressed)  'wait for button
    LOOP
  
    HIGH LED                     'turn it on
    PAUSE 5000                   'five seconds
    LOW LED                      'then off
  
    DO WHILE (trigger = buttonPressed)   'wait for release
    LOOP
  
    GOTO Main
