Timeout aesthetics


BeeBS now has a functioning 3 min inactivity timer...so you'd better read
those messages quickly!

Timeout Code


The solution was to use INKEY and a tiny bit of logic. If a key is pressed
the numerical value of that key is stored in the variable A%, if no key is
pressed within 180 seconds (3 min or 180 000 hundredths of a second) then
instead of reporting back the value of A% to the previous function the
disconnect procedure is called (PROCDC).

I wasn't a fan of the message editor in OBBS, so I've updated its
aesthetics slightly. For now this improvement only appears for users in a
Mode 7 terminal.

New Send Message Interface


Still to do:
1. Freezing on cursor key presses
2. Chat with SysOp freezing
