How, about 2-10 records at a time. The program is okay when one user is on
the bbs, but when a second or third user is on the bbs then it is all hell
tring to type something in the telnet client. The keys seem like they stick.
(Wait a few seconds, before they get printted to the screen).
The ansi screens scrolls about 3 lines then pauses then scrolls two more then
pauses then scrolls 5 more (not in that order, but in general it does that).
When two users are online. It sucks and I am looking to resolve the issue of
cpu usage then maybe speed up the program.
