Hello Chuck and all other members of hp3000-l list.

Last week I asked a question about delay in VT-MGR vs TELNET in this list.
Now I am happy to say that my problem is solved by the help of Chuck Ryan.
Thank you very much Chuck !
Now there is no delay at all using VT-MGR and PowerHouse Quick.
I have to confess that I firstly did not believe that this 'hack' would help,
but it did !
And still I can't understand why it does. This is magic to me at least.
Can someone explain to me why it helps, please.

Best regards from a happy
Bengt Johansson
