If that's true, why don't other comm programs have any difficulty? And why
does MSK have a problem before I ever get around to telling it about COM4?

My mistake. The DIR output comes out at normal speed, but when it finishes,
it takes about 30 seconds before the Kermit prompt appears.
Jeffrey Altman plausibly suggested that something broken in my system/setup
might be confusing MSK's efforts to run well-behaved under various
multitasking and/or protected mode environments, even though I'm not using one.
Perhaps another clue - I just noticed that the short beep (end of POST?)
during bootup is lower pitched than it used to be - most, but not every,
time the system is booted. Maybe the PC is just plain, uh, croaking...
