We have a foxpro program which loops continuously,
checking for the  presence  of  input files  in  a
certain directory. Unfortunately,   the    program
locks out the function  keys occasionally so  that
switching  between  ttys   on   the   console   is
impossible.

Has anyone had this problem? We've tried using the
-i and -o options so  that the terminal is treated
as a serial terminal, but the program runs so slow
in this mode that we're deathly afraid of using it
all of the time.
