Background
==========
I am running a 512K A1000 with 2 floppies. Hi-res CLI (~80colsX48lines).
On startup DMouse 1.0N and ConMan are invoked (in that order). I then
manually start up VT1002.8, full screen hi-res. Pretty much uncustomized
otherwise (no additonal "buffers", etc.)

Symptoms
========
I call a UNIX machine at 2400 baud. I "cat" a large file ("type" for
you nonUnixers). I hit  -- no effect. I hit  -- no
effect. I hit  -- no effect. I move the mouse -- the mouse
pointer does NOT reappear. I click the mouse -- no effect. Meanwhile
the file has continued to be catted to the screen.

I kill DMouse. Everything now works as it should. I reinvoke DMouse
with a "-p100" flag -- see the paragraph above...

Foreground
==========
The same symptoms are exhibited with both 1.07 + 1.08 of DMouse. A
while back I sent a "bug report" to ACS mentioning VT100's nonattention
to  under similar conditions when the file being typed out had
many very short lines. I don't *think* I had DMouse at that time,
though.

The currently exhibited problem is considerably worse.

Any obvious fix?
