- Hmmm. I vaguely remember from my days running EDT under RSX on a PDP-11
- that there was a way of choking the auto-repeat of cursor keys so you
- didn't get buffer overrun problems like the one you're describing with
- 2.85. Perhaps this isn't implemented in WinQVT/Net, or perhaps you host
- didn't invoke it.
-
- Does anyone out there have a better memory than me?
