What were you trying to do?
	When the tty olh starts up, it tells you to "Press any key to
	continue...".  I did so, and was hoping to see some immediate
	indication that it was proceeding.

What's wrong:
	It gives no such indication.  I've seen it take as much as
	five or six seconds between when I hit a key and when I see
	any indication that it had any effect.

What should have happened:
	I realize this is a minor complaint, but I think there should
	be some immediate feedback here.  If a menu has to be loaded,
	then the screen should be cleared *before* the menu is loaded,
	not afterwards.
