Dear All in Netland: I have a need to install a timeout into TPU such that when the edit session sits idle, TPU will sense it and exit, saving the edit. Yes, I know there's an EXIT command, but this application is in an Intensive Care Unit, and the nurses and doctors are not interested in being nice USERS!!! If anyone knows a way to do this in TPU (preferably) or a VAX native mode editor or TECO (acceptable) PLEASE reply!!! Replies can be send to AGNEW@VCUVAX on the Bitnet. Direct replies would be nice as I don't subscribe to INFO-VAX, but I will post the answer if I get enough inquires. All inquiries will be answered!!
