Syntax (SVNNA)
tsavea  primary_delay:n?  idle_delay:n?  countdown:n?  )  )
primary_delay:n

The amount of time in seconds that must elapse since the first change to a document before an AutoSave will take place. A value of 0 turns AutoSave off. If you leave both idle_delay and countdown at 0, the primary delay simply tells Arbortext APP to save every n seconds.

The amount of time in seconds that the system must have been idle before the countdown to an AutoSave starts. This option lets you prevent AutoSave from occurring in the middle of something else you are doing.

The screen countdown warning prior to the saving of the document. If the cursor is moved during the countdown warning, it is halted and starts again from the idle_delay time. This option gives you the opportunity to prevent an AutoSave from happening if, for instance, you have just been trying out a few ideas and don't want to save them.
