Yeah, I thought maybe it was trying to detect RIP as I had that problem
with a LORD league door.  However, BRE doesn't support RIP.  ANSI, OTOH, is
a possible factor.

Under dosemu I didn't load an ANSI driver.  The game would send ANSI to the
caller if they were logged in as ANSI=Y.  ANSI was not displayed locally.

DOSBOX-X apparently has an internal ANSI driver and ANSI is also displayed
locally if the caller is logged in as ANSI=Y, so maybe that is why it is
pausing.

I will see if I can turn local ANSI "off" in DB-X & see if that changes
things.
