I have problems with clreol clearing an entire line -- it leaves a 
character in the last column. It has something to do with perhaps the last 
line of the window, or what windmax is set for, but I haven't quite 
figured it out yet.

Are you referring to write and writeln being slow? If so, I can send you a 
function that does pretty fast screen writes for Win32 binaries.
