Last week or so, and to set the background color 80x25 characters are sent,
and every time the menu bar moves 80x2 characters are sent. I Also have not
been able to get serial arrows working, but I'll recompile with the latest
head later today. (I've spent the last little while netbooting old power
macs so I don't have a intel box on the bench at the moment)
