 CS-Mac seems to have a pretty good system.  Lets you set a
 default delay, then does a countdown that you can hit Yes/Enter
 or No/Space to act on.  Fancy.  It's about two dozen lines (tho
 you could trim it to half that if you take out the commenting)
 in CS-COMMO.CSM (which is in CSMAC13A.ZIP), starting around line
 1180.  As CS-Mac is shareware, I probably shouldn't just copy in
 the section.
 Simpler would be to change your exit key, making Alt-X
 inactive, and say Ctrl-Q your Quit key, which requires
 a make-key in your set:      {mky=ctq,1011}
 {:alX} {noop} {}
 {:ctQ} {exit} {}
 I made Alt-X and Alt-C inactive, as I had a habit of hitting
 the wrong one whenever I wanted to clear the screen or exit.
