More like a fraction of an hour.  The timing is only critical on serial
line ASCII terminals where the cursor keys create some sequence starting
with ESC.  In that case only, you should _not_ followup an ESC
immediately with a (or so) if you wanted to key in M-a but instead wait
a tiny moment (read-key-delay I think).
