Dale,

It is not just keystrokes or cursor movements, the timeout applies to the
so-called AID keys which include Enter, Fx, Page Up/Down, Help, etc -- in other
words all those which cause the WS controller to notify the OS (and by extension
your program) that further program action is required.  The key which caused
this is the Attention IDentification (AID) key.

Activity handled locally by the WS controller does not reset the timeout
counter.  Think of the timeout as how long the *program* should wait for a
response, not the WS controller.
