Hey! 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.
