I'm sending a copy to the dosemu list, so we can have more eyeballs on 
the issue.

Yes, I've seen that behavior in my machine. As I told you, it was fixed 
with the patch I posted.
(jeff you can find it in http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/)

I don't if this would help you, but in one of the programs I've another 
patch, which is a source level patch. This was supposed to recover the 
idle calls for the system, but it didn't do any difference.

So if you want to give it a try, I've just uploaded them in:
http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/nflib.zip
http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/nfpatch.zip

I hope you remember how to put the files in the correct place, because I 
don't. :)

You also have to add a line in the beginning of you program, something like:
FT_OnIdle({||FT_IAmIdle(30,.T.)})

Same here.
