Re: Display jumping in telescope control.

Hi Bob,

This seems to have reduced the amount of skipping, but I am still getting
strange behaviour. I now get reversals of direction while moving in the same
direction, rather like planets doing retrograde motion, and occaisional jumps
at right angles to the direction of travel when guide redraws the screen.
