I'm sorry if this subject has been discussed before and I missed it,
but...  It appears that during a long writecanvas the NeWS server does
absolutely nothing else except write to the specified output device,
including not servicing the mouse.  This is a particular problem when
the canvas being written is about 1 Mbytes in size.  This takes from
30 seconds, to a couple of minutes, depending on where the file is 
going (local disk, or network).

Does anyone have a workaround for 1.1, or can a beta tester tell me if
X11/NeWS works the same way?

	Thanks (wishful thinking)
