Hi Pasha, it is not intentional that we only display 80 characters. The getline line editing package we use has a routine to set the line width. Up till now I did not connect this call to an xterm SIGWINCH signal. I'll do that. Concerning the insertion speed. This is normally due to some xterm/hpterm/dterm setting. In my dterm and xterm character insertion is instantaneous (independent of the number of characters already in the line). Cheers, Fons.
