Thanks Mat

Actually, I tried it on my linux machine, and it works as I expected. 
It blocked for the time period or until I entered some characters 
followed by a <cr>.  It seems to be different in windows.  It makes 
sense because the code was in a textmate bundle, and the Mac has *nix 
underneath so the code worked in its original environment.  I am trying 
to run an editor that uses textmate bundles on a windows machine.

I will try it on 1.9.1, and if I get the same result, I will look at the 
core which I have never done before.  If I do want to look at the core 
how do I get started?

Thanks again

Dave
