I don't think it's your remapped keyboard, since I have some remapped keys, too. What I wound up doing was changing the CHARDELAY and LINEDELAY parameters to something fairly slow. (My Amiga's at home, so I can't look up the actual values. Somewhere around 50 msec each, though.) I'd actually done this because certain programs (like type and copy) wouldn't accept input very quickly. Then I found that even the standard Amiga Shell would have trouble if the characters came in too fast. I haven't tried playing with the delays since I got WShell; I'll have to try it. There is definately a bug in here somewhere, but there is a reasonable workaround. I do wish that it could paste faster, though; it looks like a 1200 baud modem. I could also ask for the abilty to cut 16 point or larger fonts. I like to use a 16 point font on an interlaced screen for terminal programs like VLT and Access!, but SNAP won't cut it. Also, SNAP won't cut text from VLT's main screen, no matter what font size I'm using. (The Review window is SNAPable, so I use that.) There's some sort of interaction going on here that I haven't been able to isolate. Then there's the matter of proportional fonts. That's something that will become more important in the future, when AmigaOS v2.0 is released. --dds "Right before your eyes, | Dale D.
