I have a customer that uses a USB barcode scanner to scan data into my  
MacWise terminal emulation window.
He has a problem with characters getting dropped and not being  
displayed when he uses the scanner.
I re-compiled MacWise as a FB app and he says it works perfect.

The barcode scanner simulates typing on the keyboard at a faster rate  
than you could actually type.
FBtoC can't keep up with the keyboard speed when using the scanner.

I am using On Dialog to get the keyboard events.
I have events set to 1/60 second with poke long event - 8, 1


Is there some event or keyboard buffer in FBtoC that could be modified  
to accept keyboard events faster?
Or maybe it is a buffer size issue for the events?
