Depending on what you're doing, this my be partially due to the "fast repaint" junk which stores up screen changes and does them all at once when they come in to fast. Mabee emacs is writing a whole bunch of characters for every one you type in, and psterm is waiting for the stream to finish. Try turning fast repaint off from the Config...Toggles...Fast Repaint menu selection. I haven't had any trouble with this, but who knows... > Second, I have trouble exiting.

Neither exiting from > the shell inside it, doing "zap" in the menu, nor killing the process Hmm, I haven't had this problem at all, although I've heard of such problems under both the old psterm and under nterm. What flavor of NeWS are you running? We're under 1.1. Other bugs that we've fixed around here are the ignoring of command line font size requests, and the reversing of x and y when giving coordinates on the command line. We've also implemented color cursors so you can see where the cursor is when the terminal is displaying reverse video. These fixes will probably be posted/sent to Grasshopper in the near future (once we're convinced it's all stable). -- Christopher J.
