Wow, I don't remember any such thing in a library. The only "try" thing is the "safely try" for catching errors.

It can't use STOP OTHER SCRIPTS though, because there may be other scripts running besides the one you want to time-limit. To do it right we might have to invent a STOP SCRIPT ___ that takes one particular script as input somehow.
The block I made tells a clone to tell the parent to run a script. So shouldn't a launched script keep running afterward? maybe a list could be helpful? Just throwing out ideas.
It's funny that I made a project, a few months ago, to experiment with explicit process control.
You can create&lookup the named process.
You can get the ID of the newly created process.

Wow that's way more than we need! Although in principle I like the idea of first class processes, Jens would never do it this way. :~)
This can be quite easily implemented in plain 
with clones as a threads. But...

That's weird. I have to think about whether or not it's a misfeature. :~)
