Summary: Feature request for script timeout bypass

Initial Comment:
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.

Putting 'timout -1;' would let your script run for(unix)ever; that's something over 138 years.

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... :-)
