 AUTO

 Function
  Set the auto answer flag in an INPUTSTR or PROMPTSTR statement.
  (automatically press enter after 20 seconds of no user input)

 Value
  8192 = 10000000000000b = 20000o = 2000h

 Remarks
  The INPUTSTR and PROMPTSTR statements have the ability to automatically
  answer themselves if left alone for 20 seconds.  It can be especially
  useful if you are writing a program that should work with automated
  systems; use the AUTO constant and the question will automatically be
  answered after 20 seconds just in case the automation system doesn't
  know what to do with it.

 Example

  STRING ans
  LET ans = NOCHAR()
  INPUTSTR "Run program now",ans,@X0E,1,"",AUTO+YESNO
  IF (ans = NOCHAR()) END
