   When I have MacDraw II open and go to use a terminal emaulator, I see
   that MacDraw II is doing something in the background because the echo
   on my terminal emulator is very jittery.  I know why FileMaker has this
   much activity but I can't understand why a drawing program would do in
   the background.

   So my question to Claris is: What is happening, why and how can this be
   stopped.

I wouldn't mind finding out either, since it seems to cause problems
even when MacDraw II is in the foreground.  That is, there are times
when it takes 1 or 2 seconds for anything to happen when I click in a
drawing window.  Then, when I let go of the mouse button, the cursor
remains the "pointing hand" cursor for about a half-second or so
before changing back into the arrow cursor.  Very annoying.

This happens under System 6.0.7 on a IIci, Finder and Multifinder, no
INITs running.  I believe we're running version 1.1 of MacDraw II.
