1462.1Check Terminal Emulator DocumentationXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Feb 03 1997 18:0415
   This looks to be a question concerning the features and behaviour
   of the terminal emulator in use under Microsoft Windows 95, not
   specifically of OpenVMS.  (This is one of the few times I've heard
   complaints that something happened too quickly.  :-)

   Check the documentation for the terminal emulator to determine what
   -- if anything -- you can do to slow down or to pause the output. 
   Specifically look at methods of throttling the the flow -- see what
   sort of flow-control or throttling mechanisms are available.

   One option which might work are the <CTRL/S> and <CTRL/Q> characters.
   These are the ASCII <XOFF> and <XON> characters, and are the basic
   underpinnings of the OpenVMS in-band flow-control mechanism.
