        Sorry to followup up to myself, but now I know I'm not hallucinating. I
set my modem down to 2400 (ugh) to see the phenomena more clearly. Sure enough,
old news moved 17 lines up, then slowly typed 1 line at the bottom. New news
slowly typed 18 lines. Maybe you can't see the difference, Kent, because your
connection is fast enough to hide the problem. Hopefully, you can find the
problem, but if not, I suggest Miami give us all Ethernet connections in the
next few weeks. :)
        Thanks.
