Thanks for the info that this is a DOSEMU 1.1.5.6 bug, not an EDIT 0.81 and
not a DOSEMU 1.2.x bug then.
[Bug was that sometimes keypresses are lost and therefore missing in the
pasted text in EDIT when you send too much text too fast...]

[that even if it is only checkforkey and not getkey, if it is in a tight
loop then it should be seen as sign of idleness]

Oh. Now I get it. Thanks :-). I wonder if it would make FDAPM significantly
better to add such a check. But on the other hand: After how many checkforkey
events in 1 timer tick should it decide to sleep for 1 timer tick? What, apart
from e.g. an int 2F or (better?) int 21 call, should be seen as a sign that the
checkforkey loop is not tight? Example logics:
if checkforkey then increment counter
if timer tick then reset counter
if int21 call then reset counter
if counter > ??? then sleep until next timer tick

Eric.
