The CScript commands te.wait(), tsl_wait(), and tsl_dwait() all accept a timeout value from 0-99 seconds. Setting the wait to 0 seconds causes them to wait exactly that long, which is to say not at all.

In TSL, setting a wait value of 0 meant to wait forever, never timing out. CScript was changed to behave the same way in TinyTERM 4.20. However, if you set a timeout value higher than 99, only the first two digits will be used. So a timeout value of 100 is the same as a timeout value of 10.

CR 220, timeout 0 waits forever
CR 674, two-digit max timeout
