I've got this same problem with NUPop, the offline email reader I use (in fact I'm using it right now to type this). The problem is most prevalent with the up and down arrow keys, and in an OS/2 DOS box. I had assumed it was a problem with OS/2's DOS emulation, but I never considered the amount of free memory had anything to do with it. NUPop is a very resource hungry program, and tends to hang a lot if you don't have >550k free. Also, it's a protected mode program. -- John H.
