Re: copying files to RSTS sim

["Gary L. Luckenbaugh" <garyll@ibm.net>]

The cut and paste is slow because of the way the simulator works.  It
basically polls the terminal every several thousand simulated instructions.
In my modified version of the simulator I increased the path length of the
polling code by quite a bit to handle the multiple simulated KL-11s.  So to
compensate I decreased the rate at which it polls.  This is probably why the
cut and paste is so slow, it probably is faster on the unmodified simulator.
