You have to implement two things:
1. Add _SCREEN.Timer object with code in Timer event to reset a flag:
*** Timer.Timer event

if oApp.quitflag=.f.
 oApp.quitflag=.t.
else
 do quitapp   && system procedure to close application (destroy all forms,etc)
endif
return

2. Timer will fire this code e.g. every 10 minutes and you should add to various places if your application (e.g Form.MouseMove events) following line:
oApp.quitflag=.f.
