To change the time constant of the automatic disk update:

On an original MacTerminal, using Fedit do a Hex Search for the long word
'0000 01F4'.  There is only one occurance of it in MacTerminal.  In decimal this is 500 clock ticks, or 8 1/3 seconds.  Changing it to '0000 0700'
results in just under 30 seconds between updates.  This will be the second 
occurrance of '0000 0700' in MacTerminal.

I don't believe you should eliminate the updates as they are fundemental
to the way MacTerminal stores the screen. The 30 second update is much
more paletable.

By the way, this patch does not originate with me.  It was posted 
either here or on Compuserve some time ago and I have forgotten
the authors name.  Thank him not me.
