I am addicted to using PRo-Yam.  Under windows 2.x it ran fine in the
background doing file transfers.  Now when I run it under 3.0
in enhanced mode, it drops characters during transfers if I do
anything else.  I assume this stems from windows virtualizing the
async port.  The question is, how would you go about fixing it?

And another thing -- when windows scrolls a dos session, why does it
redraw the whole window from the top, rather than bitblt the top+1 to
bottom lines up to the top and then write the bottom line?  Or is that
what it does?
