Jon,
Here are some settings that help. They go in:
[Drive]:\tsclient\c\Users\[username]\Documents\Tame
5.1\SavedOptions\[XyWrite's name].pif.view.tam
E.g., on my system, with my mapping to K:
K:\tsclient\c\Users\hb\Documents\Tame 5.1\SavedOptions\XyWrite 1.pif.view.tam
; Text and Screen - Options
ShowAllFonts=off
UseLineDrawStyle=on ; Jon: smoother when on
; Screen layout Options
LayoutVideoModeReset=off
LayoutAutoAdapt=off
; Keyboard
JustInTimeToggles=off ; Jon: smoother when off
KeyboardTranslate=off
KeyRepeatFactor=150 ; Jon: seems to govern overall speed
