But I do NOT want a command file to be run when it times out.
I simply want it to exit RBase.  I have a standalone command
file running that is always sitting at a DIALOG command when
the program is not doing something.  After a set time, I want
the program to simply EXIT RBase when sitting idle at the
DIALOG command.  I don't want it to run a command file. 

As far as documentation reads, a simple 'SET TIMEOUT 60' 
SHOULD exit RBase if it is sitting at a DIALOG command just
waiting for a keystroke, shouldn't it?  I just tested this --
it works in the DOS version of 6.5++, but not the windows.
