 TAME 5.0... Can you tell me how many seconds it takes to go

Less than two seconds with the out-of-the-box TAME repeat rate
reduced (using a setting in its defaults file) by 25 percent. I had
to really slow it down. Using the program's default settings, it's so
fast I kept over-running the line. And there is not one hint of
jerkiness; it's not an issue anymore, at least on the three machines
I've tested it on.

Remember to copy:

Editor.exe.tam
Xywrite.app.tam
TAME.ini

to \Tame\Settings.
You can try taking my Xywrite.app.tam (which has all the cursor
repeat rate settings in it) and the TAME.ini (in which I have only
activated the numlock setting) and use those. Both are attached. All
the documentation on the WEB site is also in \Tame\Docs. First read
the TAMEConsole guide , then the UserGuide. Actually most useful is
\Tame\Settings\Samles\UserOptions Template.
