- The problem is that the textsw window will not wait for the return from
- any spawned program for longer than ~ 10 seconds. After that time the
- highlighted text becomes un-hilighted and the pipe is broken. The
- problem therefore is not getting the text out but getting the corrected
- text back in automatically. The documented X resource for changing
- this time does not work.
