-------------
That should not happen with MSK 3.14, so please check the version.
It can happen with MSK 3.13 on machines much faster than existed when
v3.13 was written.
Also, please remember that MSK 3.13/4 will try to use memory above
1MB as expanded memory. Thus the location of the EMS page frame needs to
be controlled by the user as a memory management chore (not a Kermit one).
Lacking EMS conventional memory is used. MSK 3.15 beta permits extended
memory as an option (no EMS needed in that case, but EMS is faster). To
see if memory management might be the problem put this line in autoexec.bat:
set kermit roll=0
which will not create the terminal emulation screen rollback buffer. It is
a user of these memory areas.
Beyond this we would need information about your system configuration.
