     After re-reading your message, let correct something before people start 
flaming me and miss the point I was trying to make.  I agree that the terminal
program probably moves things rather quickly from the keyboard buffer to the
serial buffer and even the keyboard buffer limit I suggested wouldn't help
in such cases.  However, there are many situations in which the program is
indeed much slower than the key repeat speed.  In these cases the buffer limit
would be very helpful.

P.S.  excuse me if the technical content of these past two messages is not up
to par with what is considered proper for this newsgroup.  The earlier message
that I referred to in my last message, was a response posted in comp.sys.amiga.
I had forgotten that I was in amiga.tech and posted without thinking.
