These appear to be the relevant lines, in SlyEdit.js:
                // If userInput is blank, then the input timeout was probably
                // reached, so abort.
                else if (userInput == "")
                {
                        returnCode = 1; // Aborted
                        continueOn = false;
                        console.crlf();
                        console.print("\1n\1h\1r" + EDITOR_PROGRAM_NAME + ": Input timeout reached.");
                        continue;
                }
