   Years ago when I had an Amstrad 6128 I wrote a basic program to track my   
   accounts, it was a virtual envelopes in a tin job for gas, electric etc.   
      
   When I got a 386 16 I reworked it in QB45, it's served me well for 15   
   years without a problem.   
      
   I ran it today and it was taking ages to recognise key strokes, I could   
   enter text, numbers etc and it would do as told but many seconds later   
   so the information was going into the buffer.   
      
   I still have a copy of QB45 so ran that and tried to write a short basic   
   program and had the same slow recognition of input.   
      
   I'm posting in the hope there are still some people in here who   
   understand DOS and could tell me what's happening as I would miss my   
   little program.   
      
   Regards.
