I'm dreaming of a TSR which would automatically abort some kinds of infinte
loops. Like a screen blanker, it would watch to see if and when characters
were written to the screen. If no character was written to the screen for
X minutes, then it would send character Y (e.g., ^C) to the executing
program. This would allow batch jobs to continue running and has other
useful applications. Does anybody know if a utility like this exists?

[rest deleted] A really good utility called CTRLALT will do this. Its a TSR that offers more than half a dozen features, the most useful of which I find the "brute force exit" Ctl-Alt-F9 , which can be used to exit games which want you to reboot, etc. Check it out, it only takes up ~6K and is available on simtel, I beleive.
