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.
