Troubleshooting

If you're using 1-2-3 over a very slow connection, you might need to adjust how long 1-2-3 waits to make sure it received the whole input.

To do this, set the $LOTUS_ESCAPE_TIMEOUT environment variable to the number of deciseconds to wait for more input. The default is 1 decisecond, a setting of 10 would wait a whole second.
