- You can only hit escape, if you are there !
- If you started 2 tasks, which should work a night long and do some calculations,
- the silly Error-report on task 1 stops task 2, and the computer waits x hours
- and do nothing before you came back and hit escape ...
- Not very useful ...
- Is there a routine, which kills a task, if Wimp_ReportError doesn't get a
- response (15/30/60/x ... minutes ) ?

- so long
