Summary:
Feature request for script timeout bypass

Detailed description
This is a rather simple request to have the script parser not timeout given a timeout of something like -1. This would allow minicom to run completely in script mode for extended periods of time for testing applications.

Being more conservative and not wanting to test the effects on 'sleep' or 'delay' statements, I would go with 'timeout 2000000000'. It only gives 63 years, but I might be thinking of changing the hard disk by then... :-) Curly++
