SIC TIMER

        [SIC\]SIC TIMER [Time [HOURS|MINUTES|SECONDS]]

    All  Gildas  programs are automatically closed (normal exit) after a de-
    fined period of inactivity at the prompt level. This period  is  defined
    by the Sic timer.

    With  a  Time argument, set the timer to the input value. Unit is a key-
    word which can be Hours, Minutes, or Seconds (default Hours). A null  or
    negative value disables the timer.

    Without argument, display the current value of the timer.

    The  timer  can  be customized in a Sic logical named SIC_TIMER (integer
    value, in hour unit). This value is evaluated once at startup  from  one
    of the Sic logical dictionaries. Later changes are ignored. Default is 3
    hours.
