I wish I could remember my Jiffy_Delta and delay settings but I think they were the default settings. I do remember a bit of trouble in getting the dec pc to shut up with the control key but nothing serious. As was suggested by a message from someone else, I don't understand why you would have the problem you are having. The only thing about which I can speculate is perhaps a hardware interupt issue?
