>I've made an application (menus, windows, browse etc.) in FPD 2.6 (under DOS) and now I have to make it password-protected, that means every user has to login and after 10 minutes of inactivity, nomather where he is in the program, he has to relogin. The application will start from windows98.

(I hope it's right my deduction because I'am not a good programmer in VFP!!!). The problem is how do I end my main (DOS) application in a normal way (a sort of "quit"), without just let's say killing the process.

Pasculescu,
For fox2x there was a plb file named Killit.plb as I remember (just guessing name-it had been a long time) that shows a countdown timer before executing a 'quit'.
For inactivity checks as I remember in DOS days I was using timeout clause and checking how read ended.
Also Fox2x had the ability to load and call bin (.com) files. I utilized assembly routines a lot in DOS days. Maybe you could do something with it too.
Sorry I don't have much ideas left for fox2x (getting older).

PS: Probably I didn't interpret your necessity right. Sounds all you need is to use timeout feature (hope I remember right and it was "read ... timeout ..."). Whatever that was what I did in the past was simple:
If timedout end read, invoke my screen saver, that reinstantiates read on input. I'll try to locate code and if I can in next 10 mins will post.
Found! Not sure if I could strip unnecessary code more than needed, hopefully not. Here is the skeleton:
