Could someone please (e-mail I guess) send me information on this Delay(0)
problem.  I am using WBench 1.2 and an (old?) version of ConMan.

If upgrading to 1.3 will fix it, I'll do it.  BTW, my WBench 1.2 disk 
(98% full) died last night (after ~2 years).  Hard error, track 40!

Thanks in advance for any help!!
