                      timeout on y-or-n-p
I would like to write a version of y-or-n-p that "times out" and returns a
default
answer if the user has not responded after some time has elapsed. 

Has anyone done this, or can anyone suggest an approach for this in MCL 2.0f?  
I'm wondering if there are some nifty but little-known MCL tricks that might
apply...
