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!!

                              Jim
