    // Set a limit on the amount of time (in seconds) the script is allowed to run.
    // If the JavaScript takes longer than this amount of time, then Chilkat kills the script without crashing the host program.
    // The default value of TimeoutSeconds is 0, which indicates no limit.
    // For this example, set a limit of 2 seconds.
