: I have had this problem on and off for months. It seems execute a
: command about two or three commands behind the one you just typed.
I have this problem only if a command I type causes some sort of error.
A cd to a non-existant directory, a dir of a nonexistant file (wcard),
etc... If I never make a mistake, it keeps up just fine. Should I make
a mistake, and then the connection goes screwy, with it lagging behind
me. I'm not even sure it's really "lagging behind" or if it's just
really hosed. :) If I close and re-open the link, it's fine until the
next error. :)
