first a disclaimer: I use Oberon0, but I've never
used ORC.

This seems to be true, but only if you write several
commands in a row before the ending tilde. I'm not
sure that this was the reason that Tomas put in the
delay. I think that this loop should take care of
sending a command together with its parameters.

The discussion with Andreas was only aiming at
transferring a single file (both directions), and
possible overruns within that protocol. I cannot
even see where in the loop a file transfer can be
initiated.
