I thought of it because I had a similar problem with reading from
the serial port, where the application didn't receive data until
the user moved the mouse or something. I just put a timer and it
worked; now I'm wondering if the timer needs to be "fast enough"
or if it is sufficient to have it set...

He couldn't see that, because on the AmigaOS windows cannot go out
of the screen.
