I encounter a puzzling delay of terminal output when I start interactive
tracing with the REXX command TRACE ?R in an XEDIT macro.

The TRACE ?R goes into action and displays my macro sourceline and
the familiar ' +++ Interactive trace...' message:

    16 *-* call get_parameters
       +++ Interactive trace.  TRACE OFF to end debug, ENTER to continue. +++
       *-*  procedure expose line_count line_position. line_text. entry_field_
width.

(The first thing I type in interactive trace is a locate command and I
then only get the RC in response):
'locate /L/'
       +++ RC(2) +++
(So, I type the command again, and I get the error messages for BOTH
locate commands that I have issued and the RC for the second locate):
'locate /L/'
DMSXDC546E Target not found
DMSXDC546E Target not found
       +++ RC(2) +++
(and, now things are normal, any interactive command results in a
responding message from XEDIT and an RC if there is one):
'locate /L/'
DMSXDC546E Target not found
       +++ RC(2) +++
'q fname'
FNAME    JOE

So, why does the first XEDIT message wait in the buffer (or somewhere)
and is there a setting that will always force this stuff to the terminal
when expected?
