Good guess.  The only problem with this idea is that the user doesn't
have the option of setting the characters used for XON/OFF.  Perhaps
there's something in the source code?  I'm in the process of
re-compiling the commands and doing a little debugging. Unfortunately,
you need MPW to do this, which requires at least 2 megs of memory, and
probably more. (My friends who have the latest MPW say that it is
nearly unusable without *more* than 2 megs of memory)
