Anybody out there know how to obtain the idle time of the terminal associated with a process (i.e. the time a read has been outstanding with no input)? I can't find anything in the manuals under $GETJPI or $GETDVI, nor in the Terminal Driver section of the I/O manual. I'm trying to write a program which will tell me (among other things) how long it's been since an interactive user typed anything. In order to avoid giga-answers (as seems to be the habit lately), you can mail directly to me. Many thanks in advance. Doug
