[RTTY] CR/LF, SP, or something better for RTTY

[Mark]

Well that's almost exactly what I told Alex.  He asked if I tried it (I hadn't). The method
freezes the window only so long as the mouse is moving.  I think it is somewhat unnerving
when it unfreezes and catches up, but I think it's workable and sure is an interesting
solution.
