I have been playing around with the code posted, by Todd Marriman,
that sends various esc sequences to the terminal and waits for response...
and the code should kick out of the read(2V) when the alarm(3V) goes off.
This is a good idea! but...

I have inserted debugging lines, and determined that the execution is
hanging in the read(2V), even after the alarm(3V) goes off,
and it DOES go off (I had another line in the signal(3F)'s function) !!!

Even after the SIGALRM I am stuck in the read(2V) !! AAAaaaarrgh!

(Can you tell I have been fiddling with it a while?)

Any idea why I am having problems?

Thanks for getting me this far guys,

(  BTW, I don't care if you don't think this topic belongs in this group,
   you can just tell me where to go  :-)    )
