Hrmmm the time out is settable on a user by user basis, u can set the default
timeout to whatever u want in the bbs config, if you don't want keyboard
timeouts active, setting it to 0 disables it altogether. Dunno if there's a
rexx variable corresponding to keyboard idle timeout, I'm in a rush right now
or I'd check for you, but you can easily check just look up the varibales for
get/put in the rexx docs, lots of varibales there for you to do with as you
wish.
The credits thing I will check, should be working though, it worked in my
tests..
