Simply a function of a vunderbar program called win386.  This will
happen no matter what windowed DOS task is up.  There is code in
the window handler which optimizes the amount of data being written
by the amount of data that *can* be written per unit time.  Clever.

Software wheel # 3065
	if (displayed line takes longer than time to actually
		read data from serial port)

Wholey drum sticks!  Concept! Concept! Concept!

Raw message:  God how I hate stupid programs. :-)
