4) Read timeout

When running this to read incoming data:

status:= SerRead(serialhandle, s[1], 10);

How can I get out of the call if there never arrives 10 bytes? Is
there a timeout somewhere so that I can set it to some small value and
put the SerRead into a thread that can check arriving data and if
found fire off an event or such?
