    Hi folks,

    ISTR there was a keypress you could use at startup to freeze/slow those messages that flashed by so they could be interrogated.
    Unfortunately the machine on which I stored that info is a bit poorly.

    Druck answered privately & Andrew Conroy told me as well.

    Shift / Ctrl stops scrolling text. Lift Ctrl to go on.
    Ctrl slows down the text.
    It works here on R 5.29 with USB keyboard.
