  This was on a 2 MB 512KE, running 6.0.3. I was using VersaTerm under MF,
doing both standard MacBinary downloads from a local BBS as well as Kermit
via dialup to a Unix host. To be fair, I had Moire configured for the "Dyson's
Folly" pattern, and didn't try any of the others to see if there was a
difference. As soon as Moire kicked in (by timing out, or by mouse-in-sleep
corner), packet ack's stopped cold, as though VersaTerm had been switched
out and never got any more processor time until Moire was deactivated.

  I also noticed (again with the "Dyson's Folly") that some lines would
get "detached" from the moving pattern, and stay on the screen forever
(well, at least until I moved the mouse...) 

  Haven't tried Moire 3.0 on the IIcx yet...will do so, and see if the
problem is machine-specific...
