I would like to add a line or two to our systartup.com that
would ask the user if he wanted a test boot only.  If he 
answered yes, logins would be set to zero and no "system up"
announcement would be made.  If no answer was typed in, the
question would time-out in a given amount of time like 10
seconds for example.  Anybody know a quick and dirty way to
do this ??  I.E.  INQUIRE/TIMEOUT=00:10 ??
