**  QUERY.C - Timed query with default for batch files
**
**  Usage: QUERY [Prompt_string] [X] [n]
**         where: X = Default answer, `Y' or `N'
**                n = Seconds to wait before using default answer
**
**  Note:  If any option is used, those preceding it must be specified.
**         For example, to use the time out feature, both the prompt
**         string and default answer must have previously been specified.
