PFMBTO

[Bruce Easton]

In one place in the online manual at fptech.com it shows:

PFMBTO=nnn

(Unix only) Allows automatic timeout to any popup message 
boxes.PFMBTO=nn will cause all message boxes to time-out after nnn 
seconds, and act as if the user had pressed ENTER. (*clerk, *report)

Version Ref: 4.5.8 NIX
Version Ref: 5.8.00 Windows

So, based on that, I can't tell when it became available in Windows.

When running in a batch situation, this would keep the processing from halting (waiting for user import), correct?  I can't seem to make this work, and am wondering if my expectations are not correct.
