Five minutes.  But the input timeout option setting is irrelevent since as 
far as Maximus is concerned, the user has already exitted and the BYEBYE.MEC 
is displayed after the fact.
Consequently, if a [quote] being displayed in the BYEBYE.MEC is longer than 
one screen, your user will be left sitting there at the More Y,n prompt 'til 
either you or he notices it.
The [moreoff] token at the start of the BYEBYE.MEC file, as you suggested, 
probably would work.  I simply limited all the [quotes] to one line since the 
rest of my BYEBYE.MEC is fixed I figured the [quote] file may as well be too 
so things would be constant.
Cheers.
