Hi all,

I'm using OS/2 kermit (5A/191) as a telnet client on an ethernet LAN. I'm
running a screen-based application that uses reverse video-blocks to scroll
through a list of words. Scrolling the block through the list with up/down
arrow-keys feels just a bit too slow as the block keeps lagging behind the
arrow-key action. (I don't have this problem with the native Warp Telnet
client.) I tried all paramaters I could think of: set priority, set term
screen-update, set term output-pacing, nothing helps. The screen-commands
generated by the Unix app are allright; just the regular "jump to start
of reversed word, set attributes off, rewrite word, jump to start of next
word, set reverse, rewrite word". This is sent as one string, without pacing.

Although this is not really a problem and you get used to it, I wonder if
this is "normal" or if I'm missing something.  Any suggestions?
