Folks
Thanks for your thoughts.

I did something similar on a past project. Maybe some variant will work
for you. In my case the user did not have access to the keyboard. I
purchased a simple motion detector. I placed the contact relay output
from it across the contacts for a key on the keyboard. When the user was
within range, or when they left, a key event would fire. You could do
something similar with some sort of input to a port.
We need keyboard access - but motion or pressure sensor input is a good idea!

3 choices if you want to do it on a time basis; javascript
setTimeout, flash getURL or Lingo gotonetpage....
If possible, doing it based on inactivity rather than a set period of
time would be better. We've done some tests and parent frame
javascript can't detect mouse etc events in a sub-frame which kinda
rules out that approach.
The Opera browser claims to have a timeout function in its kiosk mode
which looks promising.
Once again thanks for your support.
