If the remote system cannot handle this, it's not your (JRcomm's) fault.
But I don't remember any system (BBS, UNIX etc.) not managing it, pressing
the cursor keys continuously down  until the cursor is positioned well.
A 'Follow-Mouse-Option' would do the same  -  but automagically :-)

It would be a real good feature !    (I use it in VLT very often)

That's no reason to restrict users with higher bps rates.
Nobody *must* use it. But if someone will, he can :-)

         Please, try to implement it!     Bye, Andreas
