Got it down to 35 seconds before it starts to print by following your suggestion. Still don't know why it takes that long to process a 2K ASCII file.
I thought maybe dosemu was hogging all the resources (from reading previous threads), but it only takes about 1% when this program runs (or even prints). Must have something to do with the fact that it doesn't use mouse input. I think I can live with above situation, thanks again!
