   You're welcome.   
      
   If you're planning on writing/reading real disks, the other useful feature   
   is the [F6] key.  When booted, the emulator operates at the native speed of   
   the TRS-80.  Accessing real floppy disks is quite slow due to David's   
   implementation.  If you press [F6] while the emulator is running, it steps   
   through the available CPU rates.  A "?" operates as fast as the host   
   computer permits.  I use this speed for real floppy operations, then slow   
   the emulator when I have to type.  The keyboard input routine can't handle   
   the fastest speed without a lot of apparent keybounce.
