It's not that SHOW TERM doesn't choose to dispaly to display it. It's that
it does not have the priv. needed to get the speed. SHOW TERM does show
the spped of another terminal unless the process has SHARE. If the prcess
has SHARE SHOW TERM returns the same information for another terminal as
it does for your own.
