The easiest is if you just wait for the next key stroke:

   (key 3000)

this returns the key if one was pressed, otherwise NIL.


To wait for a full line of input, you could use 'abort':

   (abort 3 (line T))

This also returns the line, or NIL if timed out.

Rowan, are you sure? I tried your fix, but now it seems the mail
body is lost? Any idea?
