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? Rich
